MINNEAPOLIS, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), an online performance-based marketing company serving the U.S. sports betting and global iGaming industries, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on May 6, 2025.

The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of SharpLink’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (Rule 550(a)(1)). SharpLink’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SBET” and under a new CUSIP number, 820014405. As a result of the reverse stock split, every twelve pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will become one share of common stock. The reverse split will also apply to common stock issuable upon the exercise of SharpLink’s outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse stock split will not proportionately reduce the number of shares of authorized common stock, as permitted under Delaware law.

SharpLink’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded to the nearest whole post-split share (half shares will be rounded down) and no stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. For assistance from Equiniti, please call 877-248-6417 or 718-921-8317.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), an online performance-based marketing company serving the U.S. sports betting and global iGaming industries, today announced that it received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Hearings Panel has granted the Company additional time to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), which requires issuers to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share on the Nasdaq; and Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million (the “Equity Rule”). Specifically, the Hearings Panel has agreed to provide the Company until May 23, 2025 to regain compliance with both the Bid Price Rule and the Equity Rule.

“We are delighted that the Hearings Panel approved of our plan and granted us the time we require to regain compliance and return to good standing with Nasdaq. We are moving forward with executing several important related initiatives and intend to work relentlessly to ensure that each of our compliance goals are achieved,” stated Rob Phythian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SharpLink.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, SharpLink requested and received a hearing with the Hearings Panel, which took place on February 25, 2025. Based on the information presented by SharpLink at the hearing, the Hearings Panel determined to grant the Company’s request for an exception to complete its compliance plan.

The Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq, subject to the following:

1. On or before May 23, 2025, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), and 5550(b)(1);
2. On or before May 23, 2025, the Company must file a public disclosure which describes any transactions undertaken by the Company to increase its equity and provides an indication of its equity following those transactions. The Company can do so by including in the public filing a balance sheet not older than 60 days with pro-forma adjustments for any significant transactions or events occurring on or before the report date. Alternatively, the Company can provide an affirmative statement in its public filing that, as of the date of the report, the Company believes it remains in compliance with the Equity Rule based upon the specific transactions or events described, after considering anticipated losses through that date. In this later case, the Company must also provide the Hearings Panel and Nasdaq Staff with a balance sheet not older than 60 days with pro-forma adjustments for all significant transactions or events occurring on or before the report date, including adjustments for anticipated losses, if any, incurred through the date of the balance sheet; and
3. In addition, on or before May 23, 2025, the Company must provide the Hearings Panel with an update on its fundraising plans and updated income projections for the next 12 months, with all underlying assumptions clearly stated.

The Company’s Common Stock will remain listed and eligible for trading on Nasdaq during the period SharpLink works on demonstrating compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.
