Kairos Pharma Announces 1-for-7 Reverse Stock Split
LOS ANGELES, August 21, 2026--Kairos Pharma, Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on overcoming cancer drug resistance, today announced that it will conduct a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-7 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective on September 1, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. ET (the "Effective Time"), with shares expected to begin trading on the NYSE American on a split-adjusted basis at market open on September 1, 2026 under the existing trading symbol "KAPA" and a new CUSIP number of 48301N203.
In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, every seven (7) shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically reclassified and combined into one (1) share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue to holders of record who were entitled to a fraction of a share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a fraction of a share of common stock as is necessary to round up to the nearest whole share. For shares held through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), fractions of shares will be issued as is necessary to round up to the nearest whole share at the DTC participant level. Brokers, banks or other nominees holding shares in "street name" will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders; however, such brokers, banks or other nominees may apply their own specific procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split.
Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion rates of the Company's outstanding convertible notes, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and the exercise prices thereof, and the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards under the Company's equity incentive plans (and the applicable exercise prices thereof), will each proportionately be adjusted pursuant to their respective terms and as determined by the Company's board of directors to reflect the 1-for-7 Reverse Stock Split ratio.
The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the par value of the Company's common stock, and each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remains unchanged, except for minor changes resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the par value of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock.
