/PRNewswire/ — AMERI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRH) (“Ameri”, the “Company”), announced a 1-for-4 reverse split of its common stock, effective as of

4:02 pm Eastern Time

,

December 30, 2020

(the “Reverse Stock Split”).

As previously announced, at the special meeting of stockholders held on

December 29, 2020

, Ameri’s stockholders approved all proposals to complete the proposed tender offer (the “Offer”), whereby Ameri will purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”) in exchange for shares of Ameri common stock, or if applicable, shares of Ameri preferred stock, at the exchange ratio set forth in the Tender Offer Support Agreement and Termination of Amalgamation Agreement dated

August 12, 2020

, among Ameri, Jay Pharma and certain other signatories thereto, as amended (the “Tender Agreement”), wherein Jay Pharma will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. Additionally, the previously announced spin-off of the IT services business of Ameri (the “Spin-Off”) was approved by the stockholders of Ameri. Ameri and Jay Pharma are targeting to complete the Offer and Ameri is targeting to complete the Spin-Off prior to the end of this calendar year, subject to Nasdaq approval of the listing of the shares of the post-Offer entity and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement and the agreements related to the Spin-Off. At the special meeting, Ameri stockholders, among other things, approved a proposal to amend the certificate of incorporation of Ameri to effect a reverse stock split with a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-25 with respect to the issued and outstanding common stock of the post-Offer entity.

Following the Spin-Off and the Offer, Ameri will change its name to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric Biosciences”), and Enveric Biosciences will effect the Reverse Stock Split. Ameri made filings with the office of the

Delaware

Secretary of State (the “Secretary of State”) today in order to amend and restate its certificate of incorporation, among other things, giving effect to the name change, effect the Reverse Stock Split, and set the terms of a newly created class of non-voting convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) which will be issued to certain Jay Pharma shareholders in the Offer. Ameri expects the adoption of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Reverse Stock Split and the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock to become effective after the close of the market on

Wednesday, December 30, 2020

.

Subject to the aforementioned acceptance by the Secretary of State of the filings made by Ameri, Amei expects the Enveric Biosciences common stock to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ENVB” at the opening of trading on

December 31, 2020

after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 4 shares of Enveric Biosciences common stock outstanding will be converted and reclassified as one share. The number of shares of Ameri common stock issuable upon exercise of its outstanding stock options and warrants will be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the reverse stock split and will cause a proportionate increase in the exercise prices of such stock options and warrants. No fractional shares will be issued following the reverse stock split. Instead, all fractional shares of Enveric Biosciences common stock issuable to its stockholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Effective with the aforementioned completion of the Offer and other changes, a total of approximately 9.85 million shares of Enveric Biosciences common stock will be outstanding as of

December 31, 2020

, with the CUSIP number changing to 29405E 109. Such number of shares of Enveric Biosciences common stock outstanding does not include up to 3,525,407 shares of Enveric Biosciences common stock issuable upon conversion of 3,525,407 shares of Series B Preferred Stock expected to be outstanding as of

December 31, 2020

.

Certain warrants to purchase common stock of Ameri currently trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AMRHW” will continue to trade under the same symbol; however, effective at the opening of trading on

December 31, 2020

, the CUSIP number for such warrants will change to 29405E 117, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants and the exercise price shall be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split in accordance with the terms of such warrants.

Ameri has retained its transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company (“Equiniti”), to act as its exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Equiniti will provide stockholders of record as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split instructions for the exchange of their certificates. Stockholders owning shares and/or warrants via a broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
