Edesa Biotech Announces One-for-Seven Reverse Share Split

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2023 / Edesa Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:EDSA) ("Edesa" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on inflammatory and immune-related diseases, today is announcing that it intends to effect a one-for-seven reverse share split of its common shares. The Company's common shares will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "EDSA" and will begin trading on a post-reverse split basis when the market opens on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, under a new CUSIP number, 27966L306.

As a result of the reverse share split, every seven shares of Edesa common shares will be combined into one common share. The reverse share split, known as a share consolidation under applicable British Columbia law, does not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage of the Company's common shares or proportional voting power, except to the extent that the share consolidation would result in any fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued, and any fraction will be rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Information for Shareholders
Shareholders owning pre-split shares via a broker, bank or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the share consolidation, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the share consolidation. Similarly, registered shareholders holding shares electronically in book-entry form do not need to take any action. Edesa's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., will instruct any shareholders with paper certificates on the exchange process. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices of the Company's outstanding share options and warrants and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company's existing incentive compensation plan. Registered shareholders may direct questions to Computershare by telephone at 1-800-564-6253 or by email at corporateactions@computershare.com.
