NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunic, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases (the "Company" or "Immunic"), today announced that it will effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 27, 2026.

Immunic's common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "IMUX" and will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 27, 2026. The new CUSIP number for the split-adjusted common stock will be 4525EP200.

At the Company's special meeting of stockholders on April 14, 2026, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company's outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-30, with such final ratio to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The specific 1-for-10 ratio was subsequently determined by the Board. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to allow Immunic to meet its contractual obligations under the securities purchase agreement entered into between the Company and certain institutional and accredited investors on February 12, 2026.

Immunic has filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, which was accepted for filing by the Department of State of Delaware on April 22, 2026. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split at 12:01 a.m. on April 27, 2026, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In lieu thereof, the Company's transfer agent shall aggregate all fractional shares of common stock that would otherwise have been issued as a result of the reverse stock split into whole shares of common stock and shall arrange for the sale of such whole shares on the open market at then-prevailing prices. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares of common stock not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment equal to such holder's allocable share of the total proceeds of such sales, without interest, and such cash payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the effective time of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of Immunic's common stock from approximately 136 million to approximately 13.6 million.

The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock or change the par value of the common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of Immunic's shares of common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares). The common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. All outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock units, and similar securities entitling their holders to receive or purchase shares of common stock will be proportionally adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split, both in terms of their exercise prices or other stock price thresholds and as well as to the number of underlying shares, as required by the terms of each security.

Detailed information about the reverse stock split can be found in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2026, a copy of which is available on the Company's website under the Investor Relations page.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases. The company's lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available by the end of 2026.
