Digital Media Solutions Announces 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split and Favorable Amendment of Credit Agreement

CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Media Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DMS) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15. Earlier, on April 28, 2023, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split subject to the Board of Directors determining the final ratio. The reverse stock split is expected to be effective after market close on August 28, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s Class A common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at the market open on August 29, 2023.

At the Effective Time, every 15 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be converted automatically into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, without any change in the par value per share. Once effective, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 40.9 million to approximately 2.7 million and Class B common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 25.1 million to approximately 1.7 million.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive one whole share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share.

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share and such shareholder receives a whole share in lieu thereof. Proportional adjustments will be made to the terms of the Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock, its stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and warrants.

Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to a broker’s particular processes, and do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership post-split. Stockholders who hold shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their brokers; all other stockholders may direct questions to the transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, who can be reached at 212-509-4000.

The reverse stock split will not modify any rights or preferences of the Company’s Class A common stock or Class B common stock. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock to ensure the Company regains full compliance with the NYSE share price listing rule and maintains its listing on the NYSE. As previously announced, the Company can regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards if, as of the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month cure period that ends September 29, 2023, the Company’s Class A common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the prior 30 trading-day period. The Company anticipates that the effects of the reverse stock split will be sufficient for the Company to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards.

The trading symbol for the Company’s Class A common stock will remain “DMS.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Class A common stock following the reverse stock split will be 25401G 403.

Additionally, DMS today also announced that its bank lender group has unanimously agreed to amend the Company's Credit Agreement.

The amendment provides flexibility to the business while navigating the challenging insurance industry environment, including through covenant relief and the optional ability to pay in kind for the next four quarters.

“We express our sincere appreciation to our lender group for their continued confidence and unwavering support as we strategically position the Company for future growth,” commented Joe Marinucci, DMS CEO. “Their steadfast commitment remains pivotal as we navigate toward an exciting horizon of opportunities.”

The First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, which is attached to our Current Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023, as Exhibit 10.1.
