Item 8.01 Other Events.

As disclosed above under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split with a ratio ranging from 1 share-for-5 shares up to a ratio of 1 share-for-12 shares, with the exact ratio of the reverse stock split to be determined by the Board. On May 28, 2025, the Board approved a 1-for-12 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued shares of Common Stock.
The Reverse Stock Split will be effective as of June 6, 2025 at 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”). Beginning on June 9, 2025, the Common Stock will trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on a split-adjusted basis under the existing symbol PXLW, with the new CUSIP number 72581M404.
Following the Effective Time, every twelve issued shares of Common Stock will be combined, reclassified and converted into one issued share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to have their fractional shares rounded up to the next whole number share quantity.
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, the number of shares issuable under its equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as the exercise price of all options and other rights to acquire Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of the Common Stock.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and would not change any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares and will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
