Ensysce Biosciences (ENSC) Announces 1:15 Reverse Share Split

Ensysce Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENSC) today announced that on Friday, December 6, 2024, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time, it will implement a 1-for-15 reverse split of its common stock. The Company's common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on December 6, 2024, under its current trading symbol "ENSC". The new CUSIP number of the Company's common stock following the reverse stock split will be 293602 504.

The reverse stock split is intended, among other things, primarily to increase the bid price of the Company's common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 15 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding will be combined and reclassified automatically into 1 share of common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of common stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the reverse stock split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any amount of fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number at the participant (per broker) level.

The Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will act as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will receive information from Continental regarding their stock ownership following the reverse stock split. Stockholders owning shares via a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and will not be required to take further action in connection with the reverse stock split, with such adjustment subject to each bank, broker or other nominee's particular processes.
