Upexi Investigates Unusual Trading Activity After Reverse Stock Split

CEO Allan Marshall Addresses Potential Stock Manipulation Impacting Shareholders

Upexi (UPXI), a diversified brand owner and Amazon marketplace innovator, recently completed a reverse stock split. However, this event has raised unexpected issues, as Upexi disclosed significant and potentially manipulative trading activity, affecting its shareholders. The company announced that its CEO, Allan Marshall, and Upexi’s legal team are investigating the situation, seeking to protect shareholder interests and prevent similar challenges in the future.

On September 27, 2024, Upexi announced the reverse stock split, a move typically aimed at increasing share price by consolidating shares. Before the announcement, Upexi estimated it had fewer than 5,000 shareholders of record. Yet following the announcement, an unusual demand for “roundup shares” was observed. Five brokerage firms requested approximately 199,059 roundup shares out of a total 202,183 roundup shares requested—a notable amount that makes up nearly 19% of Upexi’s outstanding common stock post-split. This dramatic increase in demand for roundup shares has resulted in a nearly 40-fold rise in the number of individual shareholders of Upexi’s common stock.

Typically, reverse stock splits are undertaken to improve a stock’s market appeal, often by reducing the number of shares outstanding and increasing the share price proportionally. The process occasionally involves rounding up fractional shares to whole shares, creating “roundup shares.” In Upexi’s case, the demand for these roundup shares became disproportionately high during the three-day trading window between the reverse split announcement and its effective date.

Such unusual activity has prompted Upexi and its legal advisors to investigate whether any improper trading practices, including potential stock manipulation, were involved. Stock manipulation typically involves artificially influencing a stock’s price or trading volume and can unfairly benefit some investors at the expense of others. The company’s swift move to address this situation is intended to protect existing shareholders and ensure the fairness and transparency of Upexi’s trading environment.

Allan Marshall, Upexi’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the company’s commitment to taking all necessary steps to resolve the issue. “The Company intends to pursue this issue to the fullest extent necessary to protect the Company’s shareholders exposed to the issue and to help other listed companies to avoid this issue going forward,” Marshall stated. This proactive stance reflects Upexi’s commitment to shareholder advocacy and integrity within the trading environment.

The outcomes of this investigation could have broader implications beyond Upexi. By seeking to understand and potentially counteract the irregular trading dynamics, Upexi aims to mitigate shareholder impact while setting a precedent for other companies that may face similar situations after reverse stock splits. Investors will be closely monitoring Upexi’s next steps and any insights that emerge from the investigation, which could influence both regulatory discussions and industry practices regarding reverse stock splits and post-split trading patterns.

For now, Upexi’s management is focused on protecting shareholder interests, identifying any wrongdoers if present, and ensuring its shares reflect fair market practices. This ongoing investigation underscores the need for vigilance and transparency in stock trading and could ultimately lead to stronger safeguards across the industry.
