NEW YORK, April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TheStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: TST) a leading financial news and information company, today announced that the Company's previously announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") became effective today prior to the opening of trading on Nasdaq, and that the Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading today under the new CUSIP number 88368Q 202. The reverse stock split follows the Company's recently completed special cash distribution of $1.77 per share of Common Stock, which was paid to stockholders earlier this week.
As a result of the reverse stock split, each 10 shares of issued Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split resulted in any of the Company's stockholders owning a fractional share. Shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fraction of a share that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock from approximately 53.3 million to approximately 5.3 million. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been proportionately reduced from 100 million shares to 10 million shares.
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Company's transfer agent, is acting as the exchange agent in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders holding Common Stock in certificated form will receive instructions from the transfer agent on how to surrender the certificates representing the pre-split shares in exchange for the new book-entry shares in electronic form. Shareholders who hold their shares electronically or in street name are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.
