Rite Aid's board of directors has proposed a reverse stock split to regain compliance with NYSE's share price listing rule after its stock price fell below $1 per share. All three leading proxy advisory firms, RiskMetrics, Glass Lewis, and Proxy Governance, have recommended that stockholders vote for the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split would proportionally increase the stock price and is necessary to avoid Rite Aid being delisted from the NYSE. Stockholders will vote on the reverse stock split at a special meeting on December 2nd.
