HOUSTON, March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freight Technologies, Inc.

Rafael Flores, Sr. Manager Logistics of Whirlpool Mexico: “Aligned with Whirlpool’s vision of improving life at home and being closer to our consumers, in the logistics area we are looking for new strategic solutions such as Fr8App linked to our commitment to sustainable practices by eliminating the use of paper tracking and the good service they have so far presented to our customers.

Fr8Tech ordinary shares underwent a 10 to:1 reverse share split to regain Nasdaq compliance with trading post-split beginning as of market open on March 24, 2023. The number of outstanding ordinary shares immediately following the reverse split was 3,271,386. The adjusted capital value of the company, based on shares outstanding following the reverse split and the share price as of close of market on March 28, 2023 of $1.460, was approximately $4.8 million, a 92.7% discount to independent analyst’s target price for the company’s ordinary shares of $20 per share on a split-adjusted basis. This implies a potential upside of over 12X on the closing price of March 28, 2023 of $1.460. The adjusted capital value of the company based on the closing price on March 28, 2023 of $4.7 million amounts to approximately 18.5% of TTM revenues for the year-ended December 31, 2022 of $25.9 million, and is 13.3% of company guidance of $36 million for total 2023 revenues. Both discount percentages are figures that the company believes to be significant discounts to market comparable shares.
