CAMARILLO, Calif., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qualstar Corporation (OTC: QBAK) (the “Company” or “Qualstar”), a trusted provider of scalable data storage and high-efficiency power solutions, announced the completion of its reincorporation from California to Nevada and a 3-for-1 forward split of its issued and outstanding common stock.

The reincorporation and forward stock split have legally occurred, and the Company has submitted the required corporate action documentation with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) through its electronic filing portal.

As the Company’s common stock trades on the OTC Markets, FINRA must review and clear the corporate action before the forward stock split is reflected in trading on the OTC Markets. As part of this process, FINRA will assign an official ex-date, which is the date on which shareholder brokerage accounts are updated to reflect the split. The timing of FINRA’s review, clearance, and assignment of the ex-date is determined by FINRA. The Company will disseminate additional information about the split, including when the split is expected to be reflected on the OTC Markets, upon receipt of the information from FINRA.
