View’s Reverse Stock Split Expected to Become Effective for Trading on July 27, 2023; Board Selects 60-for-1 Reverse Stock Split Ratio
26 Juli 2023 - 6:30PM
View, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIEW) (“View” or the “Company”) today announced
that its Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of
the Company’s Class A common stock at a ratio of 60-for-1. The
reverse stock split was previously approved by the Company’s
stockholders at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting held on July 25,
2023.
The market effective date of the reverse stock split, as of the
opening of business, will be July 27, 2023. Once effective, the
reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the
Company’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding, from
approximately 242.4 million to approximately 4.0 million.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse
stock split. In lieu thereof, the Company’s transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will aggregate all
fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable after the
effective time of the reverse stock split at then-prevailing prices
on the open market. After the transfer agent’s completion of such
sales, stockholders who would have been entitled to fractional
shares as a result of the reverse stock split will instead receive
a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their
respective pro rata portion of the total proceeds of those
sales.
The objective of the reverse stock split is to ensure that View
regains full compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s
(“Nasdaq”) share price listing rule and maintains its listing on
Nasdaq. As previously announced, View will regain compliance with
Nasdaq’s per share price listing rule if the bid price for the
Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a
minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance
period ending August 14, 2023.
View’s Class A common stock will begin trading on a
split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq at the market open on July 27, 2023.
The trading symbol for View’s Class A common stock will remain
“VIEW”. The new CUSIP number for View’s Class A common stock
following the reverse stock split is 92671V 304.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and certain materials View files with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as
information included in oral statements or other written statements
made or to be made by View, other than statements of historical
fact, contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations, estimates, assumptions, projections, and management’s
beliefs, that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that
these forward-looking statements will be achieved; these statements
are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond
View’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed
or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. View’s business
is subject to a number of risks which are described more fully in
View’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022, as amended, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its
other filings with the SEC. View undertakes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date hereof.
Many important factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press
release, including but not limited to those described below. The
effect of a reverse stock split on the per share trading price of
View’s common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the
outcomes of reverse stock splits for other companies are varied,
particularly given that investors may view a reverse stock split as
a negative indicator. It is possible that the per share trading
price of View’s common stock after a reverse stock split would not
increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of
View’s outstanding shares of common stock following the reverse
stock split or at all, and a reverse stock split may not result in
a per share trading price that would attract investors who do not
trade in lower priced stocks. View cannot assure you that if a
reverse stock split is implemented, its common stock will be more
attractive to investors or that it will regain compliance with the
$1.00 minimum average closing share price requirement for continued
listing on Nasdaq. If View implements a reverse stock split, the
per share trading price of its common stock may decrease due to
factors unrelated to the reverse stock split, including its future
performance. If a reverse stock split is consummated and the per
share trading price of View’s common stock declines, the percentage
decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of View’s overall
market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the
absence of a reverse stock split.
A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of View’s
common stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity
of View’s common stock may be negatively impacted by a reverse
stock split, given the reduced number of shares that would be
outstanding after the reverse stock split, particularly if the per
share trading price does not increase as a result of the reverse
stock split. In addition, if a reverse stock split is implemented,
it will increase the number of View’s stockholders who own “odd
lots” of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage
commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are
generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100
shares of common stock.
