Perma-Fix Environmental Services’ Board of Directors decided late last week to initiate a one-for-five reverse stock split that would take effect on Oct. 14, according to a Sept. 16 Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The move was strongly backed by shareholders at the company’s annual meeting, held Sept. 12, according to the filing. Perma-Fix has been considering in recent months a reverse stock split to increase the company’s share price and avoid being delisted by NASDAQ, which requires a minimum value of $1.00 per share. Perma-Fix’s share price has hovered around $0.50 for the past three months and has been under the NASDAQ minimum for several months. NASDAQ has given Perma-Fix until Dec. 2 to increase its share value to meet the minimum requirement. Perma-Fix’s stock closed at approximately 0.56 yesterday. Company officials were not available for comment yesterday.
