On Monday, Orpea unveiled the technical details of its share consolidation, an operation which follows the collapse of its share price over the last two years and its recent restructuring.
The project will result in the allocation of one new ordinary share for 1,000 old ordinary shares, and a thousand-for-one split of the number of shares making up the company's share capital.
The consolidation operations are scheduled to begin on February 20, subject to completion of the last capital increase on that date.
The new shares resulting from the reverse split will be listed on Euronext Paris from March 22, the first day of trading, and will be assigned a new ISIN code.
After trading at around 5.5 euros at the beginning of 2022, Orpea's share price collapsed following the revelations of the book-investigation 'Les Fossoyeurs' published in January 2022, reaching a low of 0.01 in recent months, resulting in an extremely dilutive refinancing plan.
