Biofrontera Inc. Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split

WOBURN, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 3, 2023 / Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq:BFRI) ("Biofrontera" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatologic products, announces that it will effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 that will become effective after the close of trading at 11:59 p.m. today. Biofrontera Inc. common stock will begin trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Wednesday, July 5, 2023 under the existing symbol, BFRI, and under a new CUSIP number, 09077D 209.

Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of Biofrontera Inc. common stock issued and outstanding will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. Outstanding equity-based awards and other equity rights will be proportionately adjusted. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will automatically receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole share.

The Company's publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "BFRIW" and the CUSIP number for the warrants will remain unchanged. However, under the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be proportionately decreased. Specifically, on a split-adjusted basis, every 20 shares of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of public warrants now represents one share of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. Accordingly, for the Company's warrants trading under the symbol "BFRIW", every 20 warrants will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $100.00 per share.

This reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

"This reverse stock split, which was approved by our shareholders and authorized by our Board of Directors, should allow Biofrontera to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued-listing requirements. Additionally, we believe the post-split stock price may make an investment in Biofrontera more attractive to a broader group of investors," commented Hermann Luebbert, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biofrontera Inc.

The reverse stock split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity (other than as a result of the rounding up of fractional shares). Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Company's transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the reverse stock split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in "street name" will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in Biofrontera Inc.'s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2023.
