Q: What are the details regarding the 1 for 25 reverse stock split?
A: FONAR effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:25 (one new share for every 25 shares) of its outstanding Common Stock and all other classes of its outstanding stock, effective as of April 17, 2007. The reason the Company implemented the reverse stock split was to retain its listing on NASDAQ. At a hearing held before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”) on February 15, 2007, FONAR´s request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market was granted, subject to the condition that on or before May 1, 2007, the Company must have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. The Panel´s decision was based on its determination that the reverse stock split to be presented at the Annual Meeting on April 16, 2007, when implemented, would be likely to cure the bid price deficiency and allow the Company to maintain compliance for the longer term. Following the reverse stock split, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel found the Company to be in full compliance with its listing requirements, including its share price, and the post-split price performance of FONAR shares.
