Market Information
On June 23, 2023, we changed
our name from Genius Brands International, Inc. to Kartoon Studios, Inc. through our merger with and into our wholly owned subsidiary.
On June 26, 2023, we transferred our listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) to NYSE American
LLC (“NYSE American”). In connection with listing on NYSE American, we voluntarily delisted our common stock from Nasdaq.
Our common stock began trading on NYSE American under the new symbol “TOON” on June 26, 2023.
On February 10, 2023, we effected
a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split proportionately reduced the number of
shares of authorized common stock from 400,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares. The reverse split also applied to common stock issuable upon
the exercise of our outstanding warrants and stock options. The reverse split did not affect the
authorized preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares. Unless noted, all references to shares of common stock and per share amounts contained
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
Stockholders
As of March 31,
2025, there were approximately 191 stockholders of record of our common stock, although we believe there to be a significantly
larger number of beneficial owners of our common stock.
Dividends
We have never declared or
paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

compensation plans is incorporated herein by reference to Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report.
