Greenwave Technology Solutions Announces 1-for-110 Reverse Stock Split to Regain Nasdaq Compliance
Greenwave Technology Solutions implements a reverse stock split to boost its share price and maintain Nasdaq listing, reflecting broader challenges facing metal recycling companies in maintaining market compliance.
Greenwave Technology Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: GWAV) will implement a 1-for-110 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective at 5 p.m. EST on August 22, 2025. The company's stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol GWAV and begin trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis when the market opens on August 25, 2025, under new CUSIP number 57630J 502.
The reverse stock split is intended to boost the per-share trading price and help the company regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. This move comes as many small-cap companies face increasing pressure to maintain exchange listing standards amid volatile market conditions. Following the split, Greenwave's outstanding common shares will be reduced from 62,794,283 to approximately 570,858, with proportional adjustments applied to options and warrants.
Fractional shares will not be issued, with any fractional interest being rounded up to the nearest whole share. The company operates through its wholly owned subsidiary Empire Services, Inc., running 13 metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio. These facilities collect, classify, and process raw scrap metal, implementing several unique technologies to increase metal processing volumes and operating efficiencies.
The metal recycling industry plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability, with steel being one of the world's most recycled products capable of being re-melted and re-cast numerous times. Recycling steel provides significant environmental benefits over virgin metals, including reduced energy use, lower CO2 emissions, decreased waste, and conservation of natural resources.

Greenwave's customer base includes large corporations, industrial manufacturers, retail customers, and government organizations. The company has announced plans to aggressively expand its footprint by acquiring independent, profitable scrap yards in the coming months. This expansion strategy, combined with the reverse stock split, represents the company's dual approach to addressing both operational growth and market compliance challenges.
The reverse stock split announcement highlights the ongoing challenges faced by smaller publicly traded companies in maintaining exchange listing requirements while pursuing growth strategies. Investors and market analysts will be watching closely to see how this corporate action affects the company's market performance and its ability to meet Nasdaq's continued listing standards moving forward.
