Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 28, 2025, Houston American Energy Corp. (“HUSA” or the “Company”) issued a press release, which announced that the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s common stock and help the Company satisfy the initial listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange American (the “NYSE”) in connection with the closing of HUSA’s previously announced acquisition of Abundia Global Impact Group, LLC (“AGIG”).

 

On April 24, 2025, at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-60, with such ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The reverse stock split is expected to be effective after market close on June 6, 2025 (the “Effective Time”) and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE at the market open on June 9, 2025.

 

At the Effective Time, every 10 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will be converted into one share of the Company’s common stock. Once effective, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 15,686,533 to approximately 1,568,653 shares.

 

Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company will remain unchanged as a result of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up at the participant level with The Depository Trust Company. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of common stock shall thereafter represent that number of shares of common stock into which the shares of common stock represented by the certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above. Holders of the Company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Standard Registrar & Transfer Co., Inc., the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the reverse stock split.

 

The reverse stock split will not modify any rights or preferences of the Company’s common stock. The trading symbol for the Company’s common stock will remain “HUSA.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 44183U 308.
