REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

General

 

On May 26, 2022, Greenpro Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) obtained the unanimous written consent of its board of directors (“Board”) and on June 9, 2022, the written consent of shareholders holding greater than 50% of the voting securities of the Company (the “Majority Shareholders”) approving a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, at a ratio of 10-for-1 (the “Reverse Split”).

 

Upon the filing with, and acceptance of the Certificate of Amendment by, the Secretary of State of Nevada, the outstanding shares of our common stock will be reclassified and combined into a lesser number of shares such that one share of our common stock will be issued for ten shares pursuant to the 10-for-one ratio adopted for the Reverse Split.

 

The effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price for the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock after the Reverse Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Split. The market price of the Company’s common stock is also based on Company’s performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.

 

This description of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split is only a summary of such amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the form of proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation attached as Annex A to this Information Statement.

 

Background

 

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”). In order for our common stock to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, we must satisfy various continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. If we are unable to meet Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our common stock will be subject to delisting. Under Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, if the bid price of our common stock over a consecutive 30 trading-day period closed below $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), our common stock would be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.

 

 

 

 

On January 3, 2022, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). However the Nasdaq Listing Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days (i.e. by July 5, 2022) in which to regain compliance.

 

If at any time during this 180 day period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will be provided with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

In the event the Company does not regain compliance, it may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Nasdaq will inform that Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, its common stock will be subject to delisting.

 

Purpose of the Proposed Reverse Split

 

The primary objective in approving and implementing the Reverse Split is to raise the per share trading price of our common stock to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. The Reverse Split should result in a higher per share trading price, which is intended to enable us to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq and generate continued or greater investor interest in our company.

 

Our Board believes that maintaining the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq is in the best interests of our company and our shareholders. If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, our Board believes such delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, decrease the market price of our common stock, adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations, and result in the loss of confidence in our company.

 

Once the Reverse Split is effective, we expect to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing. However, despite implementation of the Reverse Split by our Board, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in our meeting and maintaining the $1.00 per share minimum price requirement. The effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price for our common stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. The market price per share of our common stock after the Reverse Split may not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Split due to, among other reasons, our performance and other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. The common stock could also be delisted from Nasdaq if we fail to comply with one or more other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

 

Effect on Preferred Stock

 

We currently have 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will have no effect on the authorized preferred stock of our company.

 

 

 

 

Effect on Outstanding Common Stock and Authorized Common Stock

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, the number of outstanding shares of our common stock will be decreased proportionately in the split ratio of 10-for-one. As of the Record Date, the Company had 78,671,688 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, immediately following the completion of the Reverse Split, the number of shares will be approximately 7,867,188. The number of our authorized shares will not be affected by the Reverse Split and will remain unchanged.

 

The Reverse Split will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in our company or proportionate voting power, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Instead, shareholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share.

 

The Certificate of Amendment will not change the terms of our common stock. The shares of new common stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the common stock now authorized. The common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

Following the Reverse Split, our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “GRNQ” although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number to be obtained.

 

Accounting Matters

 

Our common stock has a par value of $0.0001 per share and the par value is not changing as a result of the implementation of the Reverse Split.

 

Possible Disadvantages of Reverse Split

 

We are required to implement the Reverse Split to maintain the minimum bid price per share needed for us to retain our Nasdaq listing. Nevertheless the following are some of the possible disadvantages of the Reverse Split:

 

  The reduced number of shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Split could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.
     
  The Reverse Split could result in a significant devaluation of our market capitalization and the trading price of our common stock, on an actual or an as-adjusted basis. Other companies that have effected reverse stock splits have experienced such outcomes.
     
  The Reverse Split may leave certain shareholders with one or more “odd lots,” which are stock holdings in amounts of less than 100 shares of our common stock. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell than shares of common stock in even multiples of 100, including due to increased brokerage commissions.
     
  There can be no assurance that the market price per new share of our common stock after the Reverse Split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Split. For example, based on the closing market price of our common stock on June __ , 2022 of $__ per share of common stock and a Reverse Split ratio of 10-for-one, there can be no assurance that the post-Reverse Split market price of our common stock would be $__ per share or greater. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Split and, in the future, the market price of our common stock following the Reverse Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the Reverse Split.
     
  While our Board believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.

 

 

 

 

  If the market price of our common stock declines after the Reverse Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Split. The market price of our common stock will, however, also be based on our performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.

 

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

 

The Reverse Split will become effective at such time as we file the Certificate of Amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which will not occur prior to the date that is twenty (20) calendar days after the Definitive Information Statement is first sent or given to our shareholders.

 

As soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Split, shareholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected. If you hold shares of common stock in a book-entry form, our transfer agent’s system will automatically adjust the book position and issue a new book position post-Reverse Split.

 

Some shareholders hold their shares of common stock in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates, if applicable. If you are a shareholder holding pre-split shares in certificate form, you exchange your certificate representing the pre-split shares of our common stock for a statement of holding or a new certificate. When you submit your certificate representing the pre-split unrestricted shares of our common stock, your post-split shares of our common stock will be held electronically in book-entry form in the Direct Registration System. This means that, instead of receiving a new stock certificate, you will receive a statement of holding that indicates the number of post-split shares you own in book-entry form. We will no longer issue physical stock certificates unless you make a specific request for a share certificate representing your post-Reverse Split ownership interest. If you submit a certificate representing pre-split restricted shares of our common stock, you will receive a physical stock certificate representing post-Reverse Split shares of our common stock.

 

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

 

Beginning on the effective time of the Reverse Split, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Split shares.

 

Shareholders holding our common stock in “street name” through a bank, broker, or other nominee should note that such banks, brokers, or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the consolidation than those that would be put in place by us for registered shareholders. If you hold your shares with such a bank, broker, or other nominee and if you have questions in this regard, you should contact your nominee.

 

Fractional Shares

 

We do not intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Split. Therefore, we do not expect to issue certificates or book-entry interests representing fractional shares. Shareholders who otherwise would hold fractional shares because the number of shares of common stock they held before the Reverse Split would not be evenly divisible based upon the Reverse Split ratio will be rounded up to the next whole share

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

No director, nominee for director, or officer of the Company, or associate of any of the foregoing persons, has any substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the matter acted upon.

 

VOTING PROCEDURES

 

Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Articles of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock is sufficient to amend the Articles of Incorporation, which vote was obtained by the written consent of the Majority Shareholders as described herein. As a result, the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation has been approved and no further votes will be needed.

 

 

 

 

No Dissenter’s Rights

 

Under Nevada law, our shareholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to our amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

 

The following summary of the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split is based on current law, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is for general information only. The tax treatment of a shareholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such shareholder, and the discussion below may not address all the tax consequences for a particular shareholder. For example, foreign, state, and local tax consequences are not discussed below. Accordingly, each shareholder should consult his or her tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to him or her of a Reverse Split, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, and/or foreign income tax and other laws.

 

Generally, a reverse stock split will not result in recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. The adjusted basis of the new shares of common stock will be the same as the adjusted basis of the common stock exchanged for such new shares. The holding period of the new, post-Reverse Split shares of the common stock resulting from implementation of the Reverse Split will include the shareholder’s respective holding periods for the pre-Reverse Split shares. A U.S. holder of common stock that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of common stock pursuant to the Reverse Split will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the common stock surrendered that is allocated to such fractional share of common stock. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such common stock surrendered exceeded one year at the effective time of the Reverse Split.
