Reference is made to the information contained in Item 8.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K set forth below, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, Artelo Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), completed a one-for-three (1-for-3) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective as of March 10, 2026.

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, each three (3) pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding were automatically combined into one (1) new share of Common Stock, and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock were reduced from 2,124,772 to approximately 708,323. The number of authorized shares of common stock were reduced from 500,000,000 to 166,666,667, while the number of authorized shares of preferred stock were reduced from 69,444 to 23,148. The Common Stock par value of $0.001 per share remained unchanged after the Reverse Split.

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company is republishing certain financial information to account for the change in total par value due to the Reverse Split. The audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
