Record date for voting: April 30, 2026. Shareholders must hold shares by that date to vote.
[AI Comprehensive Analysis]The reverse split and complete board reshuffle suggest financial distress or resolution of a management dispute, potentially causing short-term uncertainty and shareholder value dilution. However, the new directors' backgrounds and ties to P&C Tech may indicate a long-term restructuring strategy worth monitoring.
