Safe and Green Development (SGD) Announces 1:20 Reverse Share Split

Safe and Green Development Corporation "SG DevCo" (NASDAQ: SGD), a leading real estate and technology development company, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split ("reverse split") of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), that will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 8, 2024. The Company's Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "SGD" and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq opens on October 8, 2024 ("Effective Time"). The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the reverse split will be 78637J204.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on July 2, 2024, the Company's stockholders granted the Company's Board of Directors the discretion to effect a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-20, with such ratio to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Subsequently, the final split ratio of 1-for-20 was approved by the Company's Board of Directors, with such reverse split to be effective as of October 8, 2024.

As a result of the reverse split, every 20 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically combined into one share of Common Stock, with no change in the $0.001 par value per share. The 1-for-20 reverse split will proportionally reduce the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock from approximately 19 million shares to approximately 0.95 million shares (subject to rounding of fractional shares, which will be paid in cash). The reverse split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of the Company's shares which will remain unchanged other than as a result of fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of SG DevCo's Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's outstanding equity awards, debentures and warrants, as well as the applicable conversion price and exercise price. There will be no change to the total number of authorized shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

The Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split, will send instructions to stockholders of record regarding the exchange of their shares. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.

The reverse split is intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and to make the bid price more attractive to a broader group of institutional and retail investors. The Nasdaq Capital Market requires, among other things, that a listed company's common stock maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share.

Any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification and combination following the Effective Time (after taking into account all fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by such stockholder before the reverse split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest multiplied by the average closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq for the ten days preceding the Effective Time.
