Ability Inc. (NASDAQ:ABIL) (NASDAQ:ABIWF) (TASE:ABIL) (the “Company”), a provider of innovative tactical communications intelligence solutions, today announced a 1-for-10 consolidation of its ordinary shares. Beginning on the open of trading on Friday, March 23, 2018, the Company’s ordinary shares will trade on a post-consolidated basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the Company's existing trading symbol, “ABIL.” Beginning on the open of trading on Sunday, March 25, 2018, the Company’s ordinary shares will trade on a post-consolidated basis on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) under the Company's existing trading symbol, “ABIL.” The new CUSIP number for the Company's ordinary shares following the consolidation will be G8789K124. In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under the Company's warrants that are currently quoted on the OTC Pink. At market open on March 23, 2018, these warrants will trade on a post-consolidation basis under the trading symbol “ABIWFD” for 20 business days, after which time the “D” will be removed and the warrants will resume trading under the ticker symbol “ABIWF”. The new CUSIP number for these warrants following the consolidation will be G8789K132.

As previously reported, the Company currently has until April 9, 2018 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum bid price requirement, and, to regain compliance, the Company’s ordinary shares must have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. The principal reason for the consolidation is to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s ordinary share in order to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the consolidation will have the desired effect of sufficiently raising the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the required period.

The consolidation was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on December 27, 2017.

At the effective time of the consolidation on the OTC Pink, Nasdaq and the TASE, every ten ordinary shares of the Company will be combined into one ordinary share of the Company. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the consolidation and instead, all fractional shares will be rounded to the next whole number of shares.

When the consolidation takes effect, shareholders holding ordinary shares in book-entry form or through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the consolidation on the effective date. For those shareholders holding physical share certificates, the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company Inc., will send a letter of transmittal providing instructions for the exchange of shares.

Additional information about the consolidation can be found in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2017, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
