On August 6, 2026, Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-75 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on August 6, 2026 (the “Effective Time”) and shares of the Company’s Common Stock are expected to begin trading on a post-split basis at the open of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 7, 2026. At the Effective Time, every seventy-five (75) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. No change will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split is entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof equal to the fractional share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales price of a share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JUNS.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 48208B302.

Exhibit 99.1
Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split
Jupiter’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split adjusted basis on August 7, 2026
JUPITER, FL, August 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: JUNS) (“Jupiter” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies for neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, today announced that the board of directors of the Company approved a 1-for-75 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock. The Reverse Split was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of the stockholders held on July 22, 2026. The Reverse Split will legally take effect at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time, on August 6, 2026. The Company’s common stock will open for trading under a new CUSIP number 48208B 302 on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 7, 2026, on a split-adjusted basis under the current ticker symbol “JUNS.” The Reverse Split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The 1-for-75 Reverse Split will automatically convert every seventy-five (75) current shares of the Company’s common stock into one (1) share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company’s common stock following the Reverse Split will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof equal to the fractional share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales price of a share of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as adjusted for the Reverse Split, on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split, August 6, 2026.
The Reverse Split will reduce the number of shares of outstanding common stock from approximately 57,756,143 shares, the number of shares outstanding as of August 4, 2026, to approximately 770,081 shares. The total authorized number of shares will not be reduced. Proportional adjustments will also be made to the exercise and conversion prices of the Company’s outstanding stock options and convertible securities, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans.
Stockholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, subject to brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing the post-split number of shares, and any payments in cash in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable.
