Banzai Announces Reverse Split

SEATTLE, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Banzai International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNZI) (“Banzai” or the “Company”), a leading marketing technology company that provides essential marketing and sales solutions, today announced that effective at market open on July 8, 2025, the Company will effect a one-for-ten (1 for 10) reverse stock split of its outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).

The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the per share price of Banzai’s Class A Common Stock and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company's Class A Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol "BNZI". Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock before the open of business on July 8, 2025, will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The Company's Class A Common Stock will open for trading on Nasdaq on July 8, 2025, on a post-split basis but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 06682J407.

Prior to the reverse stock split, there were 22,374,739 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,311,134 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. The number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split would be approximately 2,237,474 and 231,113 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would result from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company's stock options and warrants. In addition, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective aggregate exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's Common Stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.

Shareholders holding share certificates will receive information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders with questions may contact our transfer agent by calling 800-509-5586.
