Helio's Shareholder Growth Exceeds Exchange Thresholds, Signaling Readiness for Uplisting

Helio Corporation now has 660 total shareholders, up from 102 in January 2026, surpassing the minimum distribution thresholds required for listing on both the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. Of those, 465 are round lot shareholders—investors holding at least 100 shares—marking a critical milestone in the company’s capital markets development. This growth stems from Helio’s sustained biweekly roadshow across California, Texas, and Florida, combined with strategic appearances at financial conferences, including the Centri Capital Conference held April 14, 2026, at the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square. There, company leadership held a full day of one-on-one meetings with institutional and retail investors, service providers, and industry experts, generating strong engagement and new capital market relationships. The momentum continues with Helio’s scheduled participation in the Market Movers Investor Summit in New York City on May 4–5, 2026, followed by a targeted roadshow featuring investor luncheons and dinners in Naples, Orlando, and Atlanta from May 18 to 20. According to CEO Ed Cabrera, this expansion reflects a disciplined effort to build an aligned investor base organically. The increased shareholder breadth enhances market awareness and liquidity, positioning Helio for its next phase of growth as it advances its vision of space-based power systems. Expanding the shareholder base enhances market awareness, improves liquidity, and supports Helio’s positioning for future growth in the commercial space economy.
