NASDAQ have a $1 minimum share price for companies to be listed. At the moment the US side of Midatech have a share price of $0.62. If for example they have 1,000,000* shares the company is worth $620,000 but they are in danger of getting kicked off the NASDAQ with a SP below $1. But if they are to compress the shares by 20, they'd only have 50,000 shares but they would be worth $12.40 each and retain the same overall valuation of $620,000 while allowing them to remain on the NASDAQ.
* NOTE - The 1,000,000 is a fictional number as I didn't look up how many shares there are.
