TAREN POINT, Australia, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fitell Corporation (NASDAQ:FTEL) (the "Company"), today announced that it will effect a share consolidation of (i) its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value of $0.0016 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-8, with a post-share consolidation par value of $0.0128, and (ii) its outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value of $0.0016, at a ratio of 1-for-2, with a post-share consolidation par value of $0.0032, effective on January 8, 2026 (the "Share Consolidation"). The Company's Class A ordinary shares are expected to begin trading on a post-consolidation basis at the open of the market session on January 8, 2026. Upon the market opening on January 8, 2026, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FTEL" with the new CUSIP number G35150146. This decision represents a deliberate capital structure optimization, aligning the company's market profile with its significant operational progress and ambitious future roadmap.

The Share Consolidation was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Members held on December 12, 2025. Subsequently, the Board of Directors fix the share consolidation ratio by way of written resolutions dated December 16, 2025.

As of January 5, 2026, there were 9,666,791 of the Company's Class A ordinary shares outstanding and 402,500 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Effecting the Share Consolidation will reduce the outstanding Class A ordinary shares to 1,208,349 and the outstanding Class B ordinary shares to 201,250. As a result of the Share Consolidation, the Company's authorized share capital will be $2,000,000 divided into (a) 154,237,500 Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0128 each; and (b) 8,050,000 Class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0032 each.

"We are building a company designed for scale, performance, and sustained value creation," stated Sam Lu, Chief Executive Officer of Fitell Corporation. "The Strengthened equity profile provides greater flexibility and a more robust platform for future value-accretive initiatives. This positions us optimally to consider strategic partnerships, acquisitions, or other capital market activities from a position of strength".

As a result of the Share Consolidation, every eight (8) shares of the Company's Class A ordinary shares will be automatically consolidated into one (1) Class A ordinary share and every two (2) shares of the Company's Class B ordinary shares will be automatically consolidated into one (1) Class B ordinary share. Outstanding warrants and other outstanding equity rights will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation, and in the event that a shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share upon the Share Consolidation, the number of shares to be received by such shareholder will be rounded up to one ordinary share of the same class in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the Share Consolidation will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.

The Company's transfer agent, Vstock Transfer LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the Share Consolidation, will send instructions to shareholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of their old certificates for new certificates, should they wish to do so. Shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" are not required to take action to implement the exchange of their shares.
