Li Bang International Corporation Inc. (Nasdaq: LBGJ) will implement a 1‑for‑100 reverse share split of its ordinary shares, combining every 100 Class A and 100 Class B shares into a single share of each class. The split will take effect at the opening of the market on March 27 2026 and will raise the par value of each share to $0.01. The action is intended to bring the company’s share price back into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid‑price rule, which requires a closing price of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days. Prior to the split, LBGJ’s shares were trading below $0.70, placing the company at risk of delisting.
The reverse split will not alter shareholders’ proportional ownership or the company’s capital structure. The new CUSIP number will be G5480M110, and fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole number. The company’s dual‑class share structure will remain unchanged, with Class A shares retaining voting rights and Class B shares remaining non‑listed.
Li Bang International designs, develops, produces, and sells stainless‑steel commercial kitchen equipment in China. The company recently acquired a 51% controlling interest in Suzhou Yufengyuan Food Distribution Co., Ltd. and entered into a private placement agreement, indicating ongoing efforts to expand its distribution network and strengthen its market position.
Financially, the company reported revenue of $11.1 million for the most recent quarter, with a gross profit margin of 29%. However, earnings per share were negative at $0.06, reflecting a negative operating margin of –9.67% and a net margin of –9.13%. An Altman Z‑Score of 0.5 signals a high probability of bankruptcy within two years, underscoring the company’s financial distress.
The reverse split is a short‑term compliance fix; it does not address the underlying profitability challenges. To regain investor confidence and avoid future delisting, Li Bang International must improve its cost structure, increase revenue, and strengthen its competitive position in the stainless‑steel kitchen equipment market. The company’s ability to turn around its financial performance will determine its long‑term viability on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The reverse split will reduce the number of shares outstanding by a factor of 100, but the company’s ticker will remain LBGJ. The action preserves the existing capital structure while signaling the company’s intent to meet regulatory requirements and maintain its listing status.
