Blue Star Foods Corp. has filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State to implement a reverse stock split of its common stock. The split is set at a ratio of one-for-1,600, meaning every 1,600 shares held immediately prior to the effective date will be combined into one share.
The reverse split is scheduled to become effective under Delaware law at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 8, 2026. The Company anticipates that its Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis in the over-the-counter market on that same date. The trading symbol “BSFC” is expected to remain in use, subject to any temporary designations by FINRA.
According to the filing, the Company’s pre-split total shares outstanding were 171,980,101. Following the split, the total shares outstanding are expected to be approximately 107,488 after the application of fractional-share treatment. No fractional shares will be issued; instead, holders who would have received a fractional share will receive one whole share in lieu of it.
The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.0001 per share. The Company’s authorized capital stock remains unchanged, consisting of 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The current CUSIP number, 09606H309, will be suspended on the market effective date, and the new CUSIP number for the post-split Common Stock will be 09606H507.
The Board of Directors selected the 1-for-1,600 ratio on August 14, 2026, within the range of 1-for-100 to 1-for-10,000 previously approved by stockholders in January 2026. The Board determined the split was advisable based on factors including the Company’s capital structure, trading price, and marketability of the Common Stock.
