Approves 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split to Enable Completion of Funding
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Aug. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink: NNUP), a developer of specialty reactive inks today announced that on August 1, 2022 the company entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) in connection with a private placement for total gross proceeds of $3.5 million. The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to two investors at a purchase price of $1.40 per share, as adjusted for the Company’s contemplated one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The shares to be sold in the Purchase Agreement were priced at-the-market based on the volume weighted average price of Nocopi shares of approximately $0.14 during the 21-day period ending on July 29, 2022. In connection with this transaction, Nocopi did not incur any placement fees or commissions.
“Over the last four years, our financial discipline has allowed us to eliminate all long-term debt while prudently growing the business and increasing our cash levels. Following the closing of the Purchase Agreement, we will be further positioned to pursue organic and strategic growth opportunities. We are excited to embark on a new phase of growth at Nocopi, supported by our enhanced board of directors and shareholders and a potentially very robust balance sheet that will allow us to actively pursue a variety of opportunities to expand our business. We remain focused on growing intrinsic value per share,” said Chairman and CEO Michael Feinstein.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on August 1, 2022, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, which provides that on or prior to August 1, 2023, the Company must file a registration statement to register the shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
The closing of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the occurrence of the reverse stock split and the Company’s satisfaction of certain additional conditions. There is no guarantee that the closing of the Purchase Agreement will occur.
1-for-10 Reverse Split
To enable the private placement transaction, the Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 (1:10) reverse stock split of its common stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split is Friday, August 26, 2022. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, Nocopi shareholders will receive one (1) new share of common stock for every ten (10) shares held prior to the effective date.

Question: I have watched my accounts drop 20% this year, which is better than the market, but starting in March and again in May, I traded messages with my broker asking what, if any change in direction/investments they had made/would make given market volatility and challenging economic times, as I can see very little movement in the large basket of stocks they hold in my accounts. Or should there be a change in investment strategy and perhaps even going to some increased level of cash to take advantage of beaten down stocks? Answer: First up, the lack of quality communication between you and your broker is an issue – and could even be a reason to find someone who can and does explain what is happening with your accounts to you satisfactorily.
