Rubico Inc. (NASDAQ: RUBI) saw its shares decline in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the announcement of a 1-for-25 reverse stock split approved by its board of directors. The reverse split, effective at the opening of trading on June 26, 2026, aims to increase the market price of the company’s common stock and ensure compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.

Reverse Stock Split Details

The reverse stock split will be implemented on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing trading symbol "RUBI," with a new CUSIP number, Y1250N131, assigned to the common shares following the split. Every 25 issued and outstanding common shares will be automatically converted into one issued and outstanding common share. As of June 23, 2026, the company had 15,126,008 outstanding common shares, which will be reduced to approximately 605,040, adjusted for the cancellation of fractional shares. The split will be executed without any change to the par value of $0.01 per share or the total number of authorized common shares.

Shareholder Impact

The reverse stock split will not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage, except for the cancellation of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares due to pre-split holdings not being evenly divisible by 25 will receive a cash payment instead. The cash payment will be calculated based on the fraction of a share multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on Nasdaq on June 25, 2026. Shareholders holding shares in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action, as the adjustment will be reflected in their accounts on or after June 26, 2026.
