Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to effect a 1-for-5 reverse split of the Company’s common stock.

At a special meeting of shareholders held on September 16, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the reverse stock split by a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-15 and granted the Board the authority to determine the exact split ratio and proceed with the reverse stock split. The Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split on December 22, 2015.

The reverse stock split will be effective and the common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ Capital Market at the opening of trading on January 8, 2016. When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every five shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share or the total number of authorized shares. This will reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 97,612,971 shares to approximately 19,522,594 shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share.

Shareholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the reverse stock split reflected in their accounts on or after January 8, 2016. Such beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker, or nominee for more information. Shareholders with shares held in certificated form will receive instructions from the exchange agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as to how to exchange existing share certificates for new certificates representing the post-reverse split shares.

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s proxy statement furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2014, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
