LabStyle Innovations Implements 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split

CAESAREA, Israel, Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB: DRIO), developer of the Dario^™ Diabetes Management Solution, today announced that effective at 9:00 a.m. eastern standard time on October 6, 2014, the company will implement a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the company's common stock. 

The reverse split was approved by LabStyle's board of directors under authority granted by the company's stockholders at LabStyle's 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 17, 2014.  The company originally announced its intention to implement the reverse split in a press release dated September 23, 2014.  Stockholders will not need to take any action with respect to the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split will have the effect of reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 79.5 million shares pre-reverse stock split to approximately 15.9 million shares post-reverse stock split.  The common stock is also expected to begin trading on a post-reverse stock split basis on the OTCQB on October 6, 2014.  LabStyle's common stock will trade for 20 days on a post-split basis under the temporary symbol "DRIOD," with the "D" added to signify that the reverse stock split has occurred.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 5 of LabStyle's issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be automatically converted into 1 share of common stock.  The shares of common stock underlying LabStyle's outstanding preferred stock and warrants will be similarly adjusted.  Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.  The amount of authorized common stock (80 million shares), as well as the par value for the common stock, will not be effected.  

A new CUSIP number of 50544T203 will replace the pre-reverse stock split CUSIP number of 50544T104 to distinguish between the pre and post-reverse stock split shares of common stock.
