Exhibit 99.1
Flux Power to Begin Trading on Post-Split Basis
Tomorrow Following 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split
Vista, CA – August 17, 2017 -- Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium batteries for electric forklifts and airport ground support equipment, today announced that it is enacting a 1-for-10 reverse split of its outstanding common stock effective Friday, August 18, 2017. Flux’s common stock will trade on a post-split basis starting tomorrow, under a new CUSIP number, 344057 203, and a temporary trading symbol "FLUXD.” Its trading symbol will revert back to "FLUX" after 20 business days.
Flux continues to advance its ‘first-mover’ leadership as a pioneering provider of lithium-ion battery solutions for forklifts and airport ground service equipment. The reverse split was implemented to increase the number of authorized shares available for Flux to fund its future growth and working capital needs as it works to ramp adoption and sales of its industrial lithium-ion batteries. Including issued and outstanding common stock and underlying warrants and options, Flux had reached the limit of its authorized shares. The increase in authorized shares was accomplished by reducing Flux’s issued and outstanding share count via the reverse split, while holding unchanged the Company’s total share authorization.
Reverse Split Details
The 1-for-10 reverse split was enacted following authorization by Flux’s Board of Directors and approval by a majority shareholder controlling over 64% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Upon effectiveness of the reverse split, every ten (10) shares of common stock will be converted into one (1) new share of common stock. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Following completion of the reverse split, Flux Power’s issued and outstanding common shares will be reduced to approximately 25.1 million (from approximately 250.8 million) and its total authorized shares will remain 300 million.
It is not necessary for shareholders to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates in connection with the reverse split. Shareholders desiring to exchange their certificate(s) may do so at the shareholder’s expense and may contact our Transfer Agent for instructions. Please direct any questions you might have concerning the reverse split to your broker or Flux’s Transfer Agent, Interwest Transfer Company, at (801) 272-9294.
