Onconetix, Inc. Announces 1-for-85 Reverse Stock Split and Results of the Special Meeting of Stockholders
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onconetix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCO) ('Onconetix' or the 'Company'), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of innovative solutions for men's health and oncology, today announced that the Company's stockholders have approved a proposal to effect a reverse split, which was voted on at the Company's 2025 special meeting of stockholders (the 'Special Meeting') held on May 30, 2025, and that its Board of Directors (the 'Board of Directors' or 'Board') approved a 1-for-85 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 13, 2025. Results of the Special Meeting At the Special Meeting, Onconetix's stockholders approved the following proposals: an amendment to the Onconetix, Inc. Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-150, at any time prior to the one-year anniversary date of the Special Meeting, with such ratio to be determined by the Board without further approval or authorization of the stockholders; and the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. (the 'Adjournment Proposal'). Final voting results from the Special Meeting were reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on June 5, 2025. Reverse Stock Split In conjunction with stockholder approval of the reverse stock split, the Company's Board of Directors determined to fix a split ratio of 1-for-85 shares. The Company's common stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on June 13, 2025. Following the reverse stock split, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol 'ONCO' under the new CUSIP number 68237Q203. The reverse stock split is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. At the effective time of the reverse split, every 85 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be converted automatically into one share of the Company's common stock without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be canceled with the holders thereof receiving cash compensation. The amount of compensation will be determined by multiplying the fractional share by the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the close of business on the trading day prior to the effective date of the reserve stock split, or June 12, 2025. The reverse split will have no effect on the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock, and the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged other than as a result of fractional shares. The reverse stock split will additionally apply to the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 44.4 million to approximately 521,863. About Onconetix, Inc.

Tributes Pour In For NASCAR Legend Travis Carter After Death at 75
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In sad news ahead of the NASCAR Cup Mexico City, it has been confirmed that Travis Carter, NASCAR team owner and founder of Travis Carter Enterprises, has died at the age of 75. After staying in a hospice towards the end of his life, Carter died on June 10, 2025. NASCAR issued the following statement: "From his early days atop the pit box to his years as a respected team owner, Travis Carter embodied the competitive spirit, integrity, and passion that define NASCAR. NASCAR extends its heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family and many friends." Carter became crew chief for Benny Parsons, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, and put a championship win under his belt with the team.

NASCAR car owner Johnny Hayes, left, talks with Skoal Bandit team crew chief Travis Carter prior to the start of the 1983 Daytona 500 stock car race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. MoreIn 1990, the North Carolina native put his own car and team into a race. A number of NASCAR personalities and stakeholders have shared their condolences. Rick Mast posted to X: "In 1989 Travis Carter, while in a desperate situation trying to save his team, took a chance on an unproven, unpolished rookie race car driver at @DAYTONA. He was rewarded with running up front, leading, and a 6th place finish. (Could've won had we gambled on fuel like Darrell did). This race propelled me into the spotlight and reaffirmed Travis's place in our sport. That man took a chance on me because he 'saw something.' Travis was a visionary and was hailed with the upmost [sic] respect in our industry. RIP dear friend. 'It's ah dupping'" ESPN writer Ryan McGee posted: "Godspeed Travis Carter. He used to greet me with 'Hey, Cousin McGee' because I was from Rockingham, NC and he was from Ellerbe, NC and 'that's close enough.' What a NASCAR legend and what a damn nice guy." Brett Griffin also added to the tributes: "RIP Travis Carter. Got to see him a lot over the last few years at basketball games. His son Matt coached Bode for several seasons. Great family. Glad I snagged this pic of him last year to send to a buddy of mine." Brian Keselowski said his goodbyes: "Just heard about Travis Carter passing away. If you didn't know him, you missed out on a great guy. When we first moved to NC in 2010 we rented a shop from him. He was so happy for us when we made Daytona in 2011, I'll never forget it. Rest easy my friend."

Report Shows YouTube Contributed $55B to the US Economy in 2024
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube contributed $55 billion to America's GDP in 2024, while supporting the equivalent of 490,000 full-time jobs in the U.S. That's according to the latest Oxford Economics Impact Report, which looks at how YouTube is helping to feed into the U.S. economy through its Partner Program, which enables creators to earn revenue from their content in the app. As per the report: 'In 2007, YouTube had a radical idea that shouldn't have been so radical - what if creators earned a real share of the value they create? By sharing more than half of advertising and subscription revenue directly with creators, YouTube broke down traditional barriers to entry. Today, YouTube provides a vibrant platform for millions of businesses and content creators to connect with Americans and the world. These creative entrepreneurs are building businesses, hiring employees and contributing to their communities while making videos for the billions of people who turn to YouTube every month for entertaining, educational, and cultural content.' The full 39-page report (which you can download here) includes in-depth breakdowns of YouTube's economic contributions, including a simple overview of the YouTube revenue share model, and the various ways that creators can earn in the app: The report also looks at how YouTube's algorithmic approach helps creators find their audience: Along with a range of data points on YouTube's business and cultural impact: There are also case studies on how successful YouTubers have built their brands on the platform, and converted them into (sometimes) into multi-million dollar franchises: As well as broader notes on how YouTube provides opportunities for business promotions in line with viewer engagement and reach. The bottom line here is that YouTube is now a major contributor to growth, offering significant opportunity for creators of all kinds to monetize their passions. Though it does take work. The thing that I dislike about creator economy reports like this is that they suggest that anyone can just start a YouTube channel and start raking in the money, but like any creative endeavor, it takes time and commitment to create great content, and build an audience, which you can then monetize in the app. Indeed, according to reports, only around 4.3% of YouTube creators make more than $100k per year, while 48% of creators earn $15,000 or less p/a. This is he one element that's probably missing from this overview, that while Oxford Economics has provided estimated data on economic output and full-time equivalent employment stemming from YouTube more broadly, what it hasn't noted is how many creators are actually making money in the app, and what these overarching data points mean in real terms. For example, last year, YouTube reported that 3 million creators have signed up to its partnership program, so essentially, only 0.12% of YouTube users are actually monetizing their content at all. YouTube paid out $70 billion to these creators in the three years leading up to January 2024, which, at those numbers, equates to an average payout of around just under $8k per creator. And that's including big stars like MrBeast, who reportedly earned around $85 million from YouTube last year. So, on balance, the earnings potential here is likely more limited than the topline data may suggest, with most creators left with only a minor share of the billions being promoted as the key focus. That's not to denigrate the opportunities that YouTube provides, but those topline figures and case studies can skew the reality, which can lead to disappointment for many. But the opportunity is there, and YouTube does provide a platform that anyone can use to highlight their passion. You can read the full Oxford Economics YouTube Impact Report here.
