Vivakor, Inc. Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split

What Happened Vivakor, Inc. filed a Form 8-K (dated July 16, 2026) reporting that it has effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock. A Certificate of Amendment to the company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation was filed with the State of Nevada on July 10, 2026, following shareholder approval delivered at the Annual Meeting on June 30, 2026. The reverse split is effective with Nasdaq at the open of market on July 17, 2026. The company also issued a press release on July 14, 2026 announcing the action and stating the split is intended to support continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Key Details

• Reverse split ratio: 1-for-20 (every 20 existing shares will be combined into 1 new share).
• Certificate of Amendment filed with Nevada: July 10, 2026.
• Shareholder approval: majority in interest of outstanding votes at Annual Meeting on June 30, 2026.
• Nasdaq effective date: at market open on July 17, 2026; press release issued July 14, 2026.

Why It Matters A 1-for-20 reverse split reduces the number of outstanding shares and increases the per-share price proportionally, which the company says is intended to support its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For investors, this changes the share count and the per-share price (but not the proportional ownership percentage for most holders), and can affect liquidity and trading behavior. Review your brokerage account after the effective date to see the adjusted share balance and consult your tax advisor if you have questions about any tax reporting implications.
