Dataram Corporation Announces 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split

PRINCETON, N.J., July 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAM), today announced the Company has approved a 1 for 3 reverse split.  The Reverse Stock Split will be effective with The NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") at the open of business on July 11, 2016.   The par value and other terms of Company's common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.  Dataram's common stock will begin trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, July 11, 2016.

The purpose of the reverse stock split is to raise the per share trading price of Dataram's common stock to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. As previously disclosed, in order to maintain its listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on or before July 25, 2016, the common stock must have a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 prior consecutive trading days. There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have the desired effect of raising the closing bid price of Dataram's common stock prior to such date to meet this requirement. The common stock will continue to be reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "DRAM," and the new CUSIP number for the company's common stock following the reverse stock split is 238108 401.

The Company's stockholders voted at the annual stockholders meeting held on December 3, 2015, to grant the Board of Directors the authority, in its sole direction, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten at any time prior to December 3, 2016.  The Board of Directors has determined to fix the ratio for the reverse stock split at 1-for-3.

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every three shares of Dataram's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Dataram's common stock outstanding from approximately 7.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a proportionate adjustment to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all outstanding options and warrants to purchase or acquire shares of Dataram's common stock, and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Dataram's existing equity incentive compensation plans were reduced proportionately. The reverse split also effected a proportionate adjustment to the conversion price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock. The number of authorized shares of the company's common and preferred stock was not affected by the reverse stock split.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share will receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment based on the closing sale price of the Dataram's common stock as reported today on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company's transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer LLC, is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.  Equity Stock Transfer will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the process for exchanging shares.
