Otonomo Technologies Ltd. Announces Reverse Share Split
 
HERZLIYA, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, CaliforniaAugust 3, 2023 – Otonomo Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: OTMO) (“Otonomo” or the “Company”), the platform powering the mobility economy, today announced a 1-for-15 reverse share split of its ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). The reverse share split and corresponding share capital adjustment will become effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2023. The Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) at the open of business on Friday, August 4, 2023 under the existing trading symbol “OTMO,” but the Ordinary Shares will trade under a new CUSIP number, M7571L129. Otonomo’s outstanding warrants will continue to be traded under the symbol “OTMOW” and the CUSIP number for such warrants will remain unchanged.
 
As a result of the reverse share split, every 15 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into one Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse share split. Instead, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share (half shares will be rounded up). The reverse share split affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. The reverse share split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Ordinary Shares to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
 
The reverse share split will also affect the Company’s outstanding options, warrants and restricted share units (collectively, the “Outstanding Equity Rights”). Generally, the plans and other documents pertaining to the Outstanding Equity Rights include provisions providing for adjustments in the event of a reverse share split in order to maintain the same economic effect. Specifically, the exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Outstanding Equity Rights will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of such instruments in connection with the reverse share split.
 
Additional information regarding the reverse share split can be found in the Company’s proxy statement furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2023.
