Summary

SCYNEXIS is executing a 1-for-8 reverse stock split effective May 29, 2026, following stockholder approval at a special meeting on May 19. The consolidation will reduce outstanding shares by 87.5%, with every 8 existing shares converting into 1 new share.

The stock will trade on a split-adjusted basis starting June 1 under the same ticker symbol SCYX, with shareholders expecting to see the per-share price roughly 8 times higher. Reverse splits are typically implemented to boost share price above exchange minimum listing requirements or improve institutional investor appeal.

The company is also reducing authorized shares from 150 million to 18.75 million, maintaining the same proportional relationship post-split and limiting future dilution unless shareholders approve additional authorized shares. All equity awards and warrants will be adjusted proportionally. Retail investors should monitor whether the split successfully maintains Nasdaq compliance and whether the higher per-share price attracts institutional interest. Watch for any subsequent financing announcements, as reverse splits often precede capital raises once the stock price meets institutional thresholds.

Added Reverse stock split high

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

On May 19, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), to effect a one-for-eight (1:8) reverse stock split of its common stock, effective as of May 29, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

The Board approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split, meaning every 8 shares of common stock will automatically convert into 1 share. This consolidation typically aims to increase the per-share price to meet exchange listing requirements or improve marketability. The split becomes effective May 29, 2026.

Added Impact on equity awards and warrants medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment with a corresponding increase in the exercise price per share applicable to such stock options and warrants.

All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants will be adjusted proportionally: the number of shares issuable will decrease by the 1-for-8 ratio, while exercise prices will increase by 8x. This maintains the same aggregate economic value for holders of these instruments.

Added Fractional share treatment low

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

No fractional shares will be issued because of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.

Shareholders who own a number of shares not evenly divisible by 8 will receive cash for any fractional share rather than receiving a partial share. This is standard practice in reverse splits and may result in some very small shareholders being cashed out entirely.
