Achieved ~60% reduction in operating costs through a focused cost optimization plan
DiversImmune® platform positioned to unlock additional pipeline value
Reverse stock split supports Nasdaq compliance and positions company for next phase of growth
BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abpro Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABP) (“Abpro” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company advancing next-generation antibody therapies, today announced that its previously approved 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock became effective at 5:01 p.m. Eastern Time on October 31, 2025. The Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on November 3, 2025 under the ticker symbol “ABP” and the new CUSIP number will be 000847202.
At the effective time, every 30 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically combine into one (1) issued and outstanding share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; stockholders otherwise entitled to a fractional share will receive an additional fraction rounded up to the next whole share. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 81.2 million to 2.7 million. Shares underlying the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants will be proportionally adjusted, along with corresponding exercise prices.
The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will serve as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
“This action is a highly necessary step in our efforts to maintain our Nasdaq listing and reflects a broader realignment of Abpro for the future,” said Miles Suk, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Abpro. “With a leaner cost structure, a major global partner in Celltrion, and a differentiated antibody platform, we are positioned to execute more effectively and create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Positioned for Growth and Value Creation
The Reverse Stock Split positions Abpro to reach compliance with Nasdaq as the Company enters a more focused and capital-efficient phase of growth. Over the past few quarters, Abpro has achieved an estimated ~60% reduction in operating costs versus the same period in 2024 through disciplined execution and streamlined operations.
The Company’s partnership with Celltrion remains a key strategic advantage. Celltrion funds all development expenses for Abpro’s lead antibody program ABP-102, while Abpro retains meaningful commercial and economic rights. A first-in-human trial for ABP-102 is anticipated in 2026.
Abpro is also evaluating its broader pipeline to unlock additional value through its DiversImmune® and MultiMabTM platforms, which together enable the rapid creation of bispecific and multispecific antibodies with enhanced selectivity and safety.
