[{"type":"text","content":"LOS ANGELES, Dec. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (Nasdaq: XOS), a leading electric truck manufacturer and fleet electrification services provider, today announced that it intends to effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 6, 2023. Beginning on December 7, 2023, Xos’ common stock with the ticker symbol “XOS” will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on a split-adjusted basis under the new CUSIP number 98423B 306.

The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock or change the par value of the common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of Xos’ shares of common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares).
