Chimera Investment Corp announced reverse stock split 3-to-1

 Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) announced today that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-3.

1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split is expected to take effect following the close of business on May 21, 2024. Accordingly every three issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will be converted into one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a post-reverse stock split basis beginning on May 22, 2024, under a new CUSIP number: 16934Q 802.

The Company is implementing the reverse stock split with the objective of reducing Chimera’s number of shares of common stock outstanding to more closely align with the number of common shares outstanding for companies of a similar market capitalization. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Chimera’s common stock will be reduced from approximately 241.4 million to approximately 80.5 million. Concurrently, the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue will be reduced from 500 million to 166.7 million. Furthermore, the Company believes the reverse stock split will make the common stock more attractive to a broader range of investors, which has the potential to reduce share price volatility over time.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, each stockholder that would hold fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 21, 2024. 

Since I own 175 shares of CIM, this reverse split will change my share count to 58
