DENVER, April 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glowpoint, Inc. (NYSE American: GLOW) (“Glowpoint” or the “Company”), a managed service provider of video collaboration and network applications, announced today that it has filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that will effect the previously announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  The reverse stock split will become effective at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on April 17, 2019, and the Company's shares of common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE American at the commencement of trading on April 18, 2019 under the Company's existing trading symbol “GLOW.” The Company's common stock has been assigned a new CUSIP number of 379887508 in connection with the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading value of the Company’s common stock to satisfy the NYSE American’s continued listing standards. The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and will affect all of the Company’s stockholders uniformly. The reverse stock split will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that it results in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, as any resulting fractional share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, Glowpoint will have approximately 5,040,533 shares of common stock outstanding. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Glowpoint’s common stock or the par value of a share of Glowpoint’s common stock. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options and other convertible or exchangeable securities, including issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock.

Information for Stockholders

Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form with Glowpoint’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, or in brokerage accounts, do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.  Stockholders holding shares of the Company’s common stock with a bank, broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee with any questions regarding their holdings. Glowpoint’s transfer agent is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split, and will provide instructions to any stockholders holding certificated shares regarding the process for exchanging their share certificates.  

Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole post-split share and no stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
