FiscalNote Files Preliminary Information Statement to Authorize Process for Potential Reverse Stock Split at Board's Discretion
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) ('FiscalNote' or the 'Company'), the leading provider of AI-driven policy and regulatory intelligence solutions, today announced that it has filed a preliminary information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), providing notice that holders of over 67% of the voting power of its outstanding common stock have acted by written consent to authorize FiscalNote's Board of Directors (the "Board") to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio ranging from 1:2 to 1:15, in the Board's discretion. The reverse stock split has been authorized in order to bring the company into compliance with the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE') continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The timing of the filing is driven by the October 10, 2025 deadline to regain compliance (the end of the 6-month cure period afforded by the NYSE) and takes into account the necessary steps to effect the split and regain compliance by that date. The Company plans to regain compliance and avoid delisting through either organic recovery of the stock price or, if necessary, a reverse split. In the event a reverse split becomes necessary, the final ratio will be determined by the Board when the Company files an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to implement the split. The split, if implemented, would not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power. The Company and its advisors have reviewed select market precedents, and the Company believes that a reverse split may allow the Company's common stock to be more attractive to a broader range of investors. Although numerous factors can influence post-split stock price performance (including macroeconomic and industry conditions, operating fundamentals, leverage ratio, and more), analysis of available market data suggests that effectuating a reverse split can have the following benefits: Improving investor perception and driving demand by aligning the share price with public peers and institutional investment thresholds; Ensuring continued compliance with NYSE listing standards, maintaining FiscalNote's eligibility and visibility on major indices; and Tightening bid-ask spreads and reducing order book congestion, which can facilitate trading in the stock and reduce volatility, thereby enhancing liquidity and potentially making the stock more attractive to long term investors. Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the preliminary proxy statement and other documents that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC's website at or on the Company's Investor Relations website at The Company will file with the SEC and distribute to its shareholders a definitive information statement, following SEC review. Completion of the proposed reverse stock split is subject to market and other customary conditions. There are no assurances that the reverse stock split will be completed, that it will result in an increased per share price or that it will achieve its other intended effects. The Board reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the split if it determines that implementing it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Good guidance is the new earnings beat for investors
This earnings season, it's not enough to beat Wall Street estimates on profits or revenue. If you're not bullish on your future earnings, investors will punish you. Why it matters: In a moment of marked policy uncertainty, companies are struggling to meet investors' lofty expectations on their forward guidance, which could put pressure on the broader market. By the numbers: Companies that beat both revenue and profit estimates on average outperform the S&P 500 by nearly 1.9 points the following day, per data from Bank of America. Companies that deliver upward guidance outperform the index by 3 points the next day, but companies that miss on guidance underperform by nearly 4 points. Meanwhile, the gap between how many companies beat expectations, versus miss them, is now at its widest point in three years. 40% of companies have raised guidance for the second quarter, versus 10% for the first following tariff uncertainty, per data from Citi. What they're saying:"Meeting expectations isn't even necessarily sufficient," said Steve Sosnick, chief investment officer at Interactive Brokers. It's not enough to hit guidance expectations anymore. Companies have to exceed them. For example: Alphabet reported beats on the top and bottom lines, but the company doesn't provide formal guidance on earnings calls. The stock had a modest upside reaction the day after. Texas Instruments delivered guidance that was better than most estimates, but its stock still saw its worst decline in nearly two decades, all because its outlook wasn't rosy enough. Be smart: In a frothy market, guidance matters. Upbeat forecasts suggest that companies see enough growth ahead to justify lofty valuations. "I think it's a sign of the market's mood right now," said Sosnick, who added that markets have already priced in good news on earnings. That means companies have to "not just meet expectations" but also "exceed them" in order to really drive outperformance. Yes, but: Sosnick adds that investors have seen this movie before. Some CFOs had to reforecast daily during the coronavirus pandemic, said Chris Wright, a managing director at global consulting firm Protiviti. "There's muscle memory there," he told Axios.

5 things to know before the Tuesday open: Another record Fed meeting ruling
The S&P 500 was able to inch higher on Monday, notching its sixth straight all-time high closing record. While that's good enough news on paper, it was a rather unexciting move considering the trade deal between the U.S. and European Union announced on Sunday. Monday's muted action may underscore uncertainty about the many potential catalysts on deck this week. There's a deluge of earnings reports expected and a Federal Reserve policy meeting, as well as key economic data on labor and inflation due. S&P 500 futures advanced on Tuesday morning as traders wondered if the streak could continue. Follow live market updates here. With the White House's Friday tariff deadline just days away, President Donald Trump offered a broad proclamation. Countries that have not ironed out deals with the U.S. will face a base tariff "in the range" of 15% to 20%, he said on Monday. Remember, as CNBC's Erin Doherty noted, that any rate in this range would be higher than the 10% baseline tariff first announced by Trump in April. With the deadline looming, the question is which countries will manage to secure better deals before time runs out. Billions of dollars in cost cuts are coming for Merck over the next few years, the company said Tuesday. It plans to slash $3 billion by the end of 2027 as it readies for the patent expiration of cancer drug Keytruda the following year. Additionally, as CNBC's Annika Kim Constantino reported, the announcement comes as pharmaceutical makers grapple with the tariff outlook and aim to build up domestic manufacturing. Merck posted second-quarter revenue that came in slightly lower than Wall Street expected and provided a narrower range for full-year guidance. The Federal Reserve will keep its policy meeting closed to the public this week, as it has for half a century. While that's business as usual for those who follow central bank gatherings, the decision comes at the hands of a U.S. District Court judge — who on Monday rejected a request from a Trump-aligned investment fund to open the meeting to the public. This is the latest installment in an ongoing pressure campaign from Trump and his allies to press the Fed to lower interest rates. But the White House may need to wait: Fed funds futures are pricing in a more than 97% likelihood of the central bank keeping rates unchanged at this week's meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Starting next month, the Las Vegas Sphere — that giant dome known for its larger-than-life concerts — will screen the hit 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz." There's an artificial intelligence component, as well. Engineers partnered with Google Cloud on using AI "outpainting" to expand the original film to fill the space. The goal, as CNBC's Krysta Escobar reports, is to have viewers feel like they were in the studio as the movie was being made. —
