Creatd Completes 1:20 Reverse Stock Split as Part of Uplisting Strategy
- No financing will accompany the reverse split
- Reverse split necessary to meet national exchange listing requirements
- Reverse split approved by the Company’s Shareholders and Board of Directors
NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTD) (“Creatd” or the “Company”) today announced that it will implement a 20:1 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, effective February 24, 2026, as reflected in the FINRA Daily List.
Beginning at the market open on February 24, 2026, Creatd’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQB with the number of issued and outstanding shares reduced on a 1-for-20 basis. The reverse stock split is necessary to meet national exchange listing requirements, including minimum bid price thresholds.
For an interim period of 20 business days, beginning on February 24, 2026 and ending on March 24, 2026, the stock symbol will be $CRTDD. After this period, the stock will resume trading under $CRTD.
The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and Shareholders and will be implemented through FINRA’s corporate action process. As a result, every twenty (20) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined into one (1) share of common stock.
No financing will accompany the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split will proportionally increase the per-share trading price of the Company’s common stock, while maintaining each shareholder’s relative ownership interest, except for adjustments related to fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will have their holdings rounded in accordance with applicable procedures.
Shareholders holding shares in brokerage accounts or in book-entry form will not be required to take any action, as the adjustment will be automatically reflected in their accounts. Creatd’s transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer, will administer the reverse stock split.
