Polished.com Inc. Announces Special Stockholder Meeting to Approve Reverse Stock Split

BROOKLYN, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Polished.com Inc. (the “Company” or “Polished”) (NYSE American: POL) today announced that it plans to hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to seek approval to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio in the range of 1-for-25 to 1-for-75, with such ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on September 19, 2023, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting, which is scheduled for October 19, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Additional information regarding the Special Meeting, including how to vote, are available via proxy materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and can be found at https://investor.polished.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx.

The reverse stock split would not have any effect on the actual or intrinsic value of the business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership in the Company (subject to the treatment of fractional shares) and would have no impact on the Company’s business operations or any of its outstanding indebtedness. The Board may revoke the proposal and cancel the Special Meeting at any time if it determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Even if the meeting occurs and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is approved, the Board may delay or abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split if the Board determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.
