BOSTON, MA–(Oct 1, 2015) – InspireMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NSPR) (“InspireMD” or the “Company”), a leader in embolic prevention systems (EPS), neurovascular devices and thrombus management technologies, announced today a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock, effective as of 12:00 am Eastern Time on October 1, 2015. Beginning with the opening of trading on October 1, 2015, the Company’s common stock will trade on the NYSE MKT on a split adjusted basis. In addition, the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock was decreased from 125 million to 50 million.

As previously disclosed, at InspireMD’s Annual Meeting on September 9, 2015, the Company’s stockholders authorized the Board of Directors to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten and to reduce the number of authorized shares of its common stock.

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every ten (10) shares of InspireMD common stock outstanding automatically combine into one (1) new share of common stock with no change in par value per share. Proportionate adjustments will be made to (i) the per share exercise price and the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the number of authorized shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “NSPR.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split is 45779A507. No fractional shares will be issued following the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole share.

Registered Stockholders holding their shares of common stock in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer Corp, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for new certificates representing the post-split number of shares.
