Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) CEO David Michery speaks on the company’s new reverse stock split as well as short sellers.
On August 8, the company announced a 1 for 9 reverse stock split alongside the beginning of a $25 million stock buyback program.
“We believe the Company is highly undervalued and the stock buyback program represents a compelling use of our capital, reflecting confidence in our business,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
The proposal received 221,098,224 ‘votes for’ a reverse stock split, and 103,280,513 ‘votes against’ it, with 1,415,758 abstentions.
A 1 for 9 split would put MULN stock at just $1, which investors criticize leaves no wiggle room as the company continues to be a target for short sellers.
A user on Twitter shared a message between him and the CEO where he made the following statement:
“At this point, we’ve done the minimum reverse possible to try to regain compliance.
The rest will be in the retail, shareholders hands, if the stock stays above a buck or doesn’t.
At this point, we put our faith in the shareholders and retail traders.
All the good people need to rally against the individuals that are shorting the stock with malice intent, not to make money, but to cause delisting, that’s what they are doing.”
Mullen Automotive announced in July that it has been investigating naked short selling activity since April of this year.
How far this investigation will go is unknown, especially now that Congress has stated that not all naked shorting is deemed ‘illegal’.
Just last week, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) also commented on naked short selling in a new response to the concerned public.
