Meihua International Initiates a 1-for-100 Reverse Share Split
Meihua International Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Meihua” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MHUA) is renowned for its extensive range of medical devices. Recently, the Company made an important announcement regarding its financial structure. Meihua will be executing a reverse share split at a ratio of 1-for-100, effective at the start of business soon.
The Strategic Move Behind the Split
This reverse share split is set to adjust the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares from $0.0005 to $0.05. By implementing this split, Meihua aims to meet the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 for continued trading. Adjusting the share structure not only aims for compliance but also signals a turn towards a more robust business model.
Understanding the Dual-Class Share Structure
Along with the reverse split, Meihua will also implement a dual-class share structure. This move is designed to enhance governance and allows greater flexibility for strategic growth initiatives. Following the split, shareholders will experience a reduction in the total number of issued Class A ordinary shares, trimming the count from approximately 56 million shares to just around 0.56 million shares.
Consequences for Shareholders
Importantly, no fractional shares will be introduced; instead, any fractional interests will be rounded up. This step simplifies ownership structure for shareholders, ensuring they hold whole shares post-split. The changes will also affect traditional Class A shares that are tied to the company's convertible securities and equity incentive plans, ensuring a cohesive distribution approach.

VStock Transfer, LLC has been appointed as the exchange agent for this process. They will assist shareholders during this transition, particularly those holding shares in book-entry form or within brokerage accounts.
