ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: NDRA) (the “Company”), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS^®), announced today that it will be effecting a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from 63,174,455 shares to approximately 3,158,723 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. The Company is confirming with the Nasdaq Stock Market the effective date of the reverse stock split, when ENDRA’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis under the existing trading symbol “NDRA” and a new CUSIP number.

The reverse stock split was previously approved by ENDRA’s stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders held on November 29, 2022, with the final ratio subsequently determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The reverse stock split is intended to bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and is not being done as part of a capital raise.

“We thank our stockholders for authorizing a reverse stock split in order to meet Nasdaq continued-listing requirements,” stated Francois Michelon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we believe the higher share price resulting from the reverse split may assist in improving the visibility of our stock among institutional investors. We look forward to keeping investors updated on our progress as we collect data from clinical evaluation sites in support of our upcoming De Novo submission for TAEUS in the U.S. and our commercialization efforts in Europe.”

Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of ENDRA common stock issued and outstanding or held as treasury shares as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock or of preferred stock or change the par value of the Company’s stock. Outstanding equity-based awards and other outstanding equity rights will be proportionately adjusted. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will be entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number.

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in ENDRA’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2022.
