RIDGEFIELD ACQUISITION CORP 8-K

What Happened
Ridgefield Acquisition Corp (RDGA) announced on January 15, 2026 that it filed two Certificates of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to implement a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split and, immediately afterward, a 10,000-for-1 forward stock split. The reverse split became effective at 6:00 p.m. ET and the forward split became effective at 6:01 p.m. ET the same day. No fractional shares were issued; instead, shareholders holding fewer than 10,000 pre-split shares were cashed out at $0.02 per share.

Key Details

• Reverse split ratio: 1-for-10,000, effective Jan 15, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. ET.
• Forward split ratio: 10,000-for-1, effective Jan 15, 2026 at 6:01 p.m. ET (immediately after the reverse split).
• Cash-out: Stockholders with fewer than 10,000 shares before the reverse split received $0.02 per share (company-determined fair market value).
• Result: Shareholders not cashed out hold the same number of shares after the forward split as they held before the reverse split; no fractional shares were issued.

Why It Matters
This change removed small holdings (under 10,000 shares) by paying them $0.02 per share and preserved share counts for remaining holders through the immediate forward split. For investors, the filing is material because it alters who remains a shareholder (small positions were bought out) and may affect the company’s outstanding share composition. The company’s amendments and the certificates implementing the splits are attached to the 8-K.
