AITX announced it will not proceed with a previously proposed increase of 3.8 billion authorized shares of common stock. The decision follows the completion of a 100‑for‑1 reverse stock split processed by FINRA on March 12, 2026. The board determined the share increase was no longer necessary after the reverse split.
The authorized capitalization remains at 27.52 billion total shares, comprising 27.5 billion common and 20 million preferred. By canceling the increase, AITX limits potential dilution and preserves capital for its high‑margin device‑rental business and autonomous security robotics operations.
AITX continues to focus on its autonomous security robotics market while managing a significant debt load and negative working capital. Management said the cancellation reflects its ongoing efforts to responsibly manage the capital structure while remaining focused on executing its operational plan: "With the reverse split now completed, we determined that the proposed authorized share increase was no longer necessary. Canceling the increase reflects our ongoing efforts to responsibly manage the Company's capital structure while we remain focused on executing our operational plan."
The board also indicated it may consider a reduction in the authorized share count in the future to better align the capital structure with long‑term objectives. The decision signals a cautious approach to capital expansion and may influence future financing decisions, such as equity raises or credit facilities.
