| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On January 9, 2025, the board of directors (the “Board”) of AlloVir, Inc. (“AlloVir”) determined to effect a one-for-twenty-three (1-for-23) reverse stock split of AlloVir’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The reverse stock split ratio approved by the Board is within the previously disclosed range of ratios for a reverse stock split authorized by the stockholders of AlloVir at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of AlloVir held on January 9, 2025.
The reverse stock split will take effect at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time on January 15, 2025, and AlloVir’s Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the opening of trading on January 16, 2025. The CUSIP number of 019818202 will be assigned to AlloVir’s Common Stock when the reverse stock split becomes effective.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fraction of a share of Common Stock of AlloVir will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to that fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of AlloVir’s Common Stock on Nasdaq on January 15, 2025 (as adjusted for the reverse split).
