Doma Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOMA) today announced its intention to complete a reverse stock split, subject to approval by its board of directors and stockholders at its next annual meeting of stockholders.

The proposed stock split is intended to resolve the issue raised in a non-compliance notice Doma received from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 1, 2022 regarding its continued listing standard as set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, due to the average closing price of the company’s common stock being less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The NYSE notice does not affect Doma’s business operations.

Doma can regain compliance at any time during the cure period of six months following the receipt of the NYSE notice by meeting the minimum share price requirement, or by the company’s next annual meeting of stockholders if stockholder approval is required to cure the share price non-compliance, as would be the case to effectuate a reverse stock split. The company plans to notify the NYSE of its intent to implement a reverse stock split, subject to required approvals, at the next annual meeting of stockholders, if it does not achieve an accelerated cure before then. Doma will regain compliance if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the company has a closing price of at least $1.00 per share and an average closing price of at least $1.00 per share over the 30-trading day period ending on the last trading day of that month.

Under the NYSE rules, the company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements.
