Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 19, 2026, Power REIT (the “Trust”) issued a press release announcing a Reverse Stock Split (as defined below). A copy of the press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Trust under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 19, 2025, the Trust announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split of shares of the Trust’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), where every ten issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be converted into one share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The Reverse Stock Split is expected to take effect as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 2, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). Accordingly, at the Effective Time, every ten issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be converted into one share of Common Stock.
At the market open on June 3, 2026 (the first business day after the Effective Time), the Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on NYSE American under the symbol “PW” and has been assigned a new CUSIP number (73933H 309).
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 equal to the applicable fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on NYSE American on June 2, 2026 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), without any interest.
The Reverse Stock Split will apply to all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time and therefore will not affect any particular stockholder’s relative ownership percentage of shares of Common Stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split will also not affect the relative voting or other rights that accompany the shares of Common Stock, except to the extent that it results from a stockholder receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Stockholders of record will receive information from Broadridge Financial Solutions, LLC, the Trust’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and, if applicable, payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares, without any interest. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees pursuant to Maryland General Corporation Law, and no stockholder approval is required.
