ACON Aclarion Inc

Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, today announced that effective before market open on Friday March 28, 2025, it will complete a 1-for-27 reverse stock split of its common stock.

On September 23, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to affect a reverse stock split with the exact ratio to be set by its Board of Directors. The Board resolved to set the reverse stock split at the ratio of 1-for-27. The Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State in Delaware effective March 27, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. As a result, every twenty-seven (27) issued shares of common stock will automatically be combined into one (1) share of common stock.

The Company believes that affecting the reverse stock split will assist in its efforts to meet the Nasdaq continued listing standards and to continue to have its common stock remain listed and traded on Nasdaq. In particular, the Company expects the reverse stock split to increase the per share price and bid price of its common stock above the $1.00 required by Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Rule.

Shares of the Company’s common stock will be assigned a new CUSIP number (655187409) and are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on Friday, March 28, 2025.

The reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In lieu thereof, any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share at the participant level. The Company does not intend to round up fractional shares at the beneficial level and will instead round any such fractional shares up at the participant level with DTC.

The reverse stock split will apply to the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of common stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable will be adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. The conversion or exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options will also be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans.

Once the reverse stock split becomes effective, stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-27 reverse stock split. Existing stockholders holding common stock certificates will receive a letter of transmittal from Aclarion’s transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, with specific instructions regarding the exchange of shares.

The Company expects to have its issued and outstanding common shares decrease from approximately 15.72 million pre-split shares to approximately 582,000 post-split shares outstanding as a result of the reverse stock split.
