NEW YORK, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sharps Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, issues a shareholder letter from Robert Hayes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
In order to continue Sharps Technology’s solid progress toward achieving its goals, I want to share with you the importance of the three proposals on the shareholder ballot and ask you to take a few moments to vote to approve them.
Up for vote on the ballot are the following three proposals:
- To increase the authorized number of shares of common stock, if required for future equity transactions.
- To effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at our discretion, at a ratio of up to 1-for-8, if required to maintain our Nasdaq listing.
- To issue securities in non-public offerings where the maximum discount will not exceed 20% below the market price of the Company’s common stock.
Our leadership team is moving forward aggressively to increase the Company’s valuation through strategic partnerships and customer opportunities that will drive the need to expand our manufacturing capacity in Europe and the United States. We believe that passing the three proposals is extremely important for Sharps to execute on these growth strategies and create more value for our shareholders.
Shareholders of record as of May 17, 2024, can vote or change their vote 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on July 12, 2024.
