Exhibit 99.1
Vivakor Announces 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split
Dallas, TX – GlobeNewswire – September 30, 2026 – Vivakor, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIVK) (“Vivakor” or the “Company”), an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services, today announced a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective at the opening of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 5, 2026 under the existing ticker symbol “VIVK.”
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the per-share trading price of the Company’s common stock and support the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On June 30, 2026, at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders approved one or more reverse stock splits of our common stock over the course of the next two years at a ratio within a range from one-for-two (1:2) up to one-for-two thousand (1:2,000), with the specific ratio and date of any such reverse stock split to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a previous Reverse Stock Split at the ratio of 1-for-20, effective on July 17, 2026, and this Reverse Stock Split at the ratio of 1-for-15. Following the Reverse Stock Split each fifteen (15) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined into one (1) share of common stock. As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares will be reduced from approximately 8,981,898 to approximately 598,794, while the number of authorized shares will remain unchanged. Following the reverse stock split, the Company’s common stock will trade under the new CUSIP number 92852R700.
No fractional shares will be issued. Stockholders who would otherwise receive a fractional share will instead receive one whole share.
