Yoshiharu Global announces 4-for-1 forward stock split

BUENA PARK, Calif. - Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ:YOSH), a Japanese ramen restaurant operator, announced Friday that its board of directors and stockholders have approved a 4-for-1 forward stock split of the company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The announcement comes as the stock has shown significant volatility, with InvestingPro data showing a 75% surge over the past six months despite a recent 24% weekly decline.

Under the split, shareholders will receive three additional shares for each share held as of July 28, 2025, which is the designated record date. The additional shares are expected to be distributed after market close on July 30, 2025, with the stock beginning to trade on a post-split basis when markets open on July 31, 2025.

The company stated that the forward stock split is intended to encourage interest in its Class A common stock and potentially promote greater liquidity for stockholders. The par value of the shares will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share.

Yoshiharu Global will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under its existing "YOSH" symbol. VStock Transfer is serving as the transfer and exchange agent for the split and will deliver new certificates representing the additional shares to stockholders. The company will cover the costs associated with canceling old certificates and issuing new ones.

According to the press release statement, Yoshiharu specializes in Japanese ramen and operates 15 restaurants across Southern California and Las Vegas since its debut in 2016.
