How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The reverse split reduces share count and adjusts warrant/option/conversion terms proportionally, aiming to make the bid price more attractive while keeping ownership percentages (aside from fractional-share cash payments) unchanged.
Market read
This is a concrete, time-bound corporate action with split-adjusted trading starting July 6, which can drive technical trading and short-term volatility.
What to watch
Traders should watch for any follow-on actions (financing, dilution, warrant/option repricing) and the actual post-split bid/volume behavior into July 6.
