Century-old recycling company modernizes identity through cap table reorganization

Founded in 1924, a family-controlled OTC-traded recycling company undertook a full capital structure reorganization — consolidating share classes, retiring legacy preferred stock, and adopting a new corporate name to reflect its evolution into a modern circular economy business. PIVO NYC managed the rename strategy alongside the cap table restructuring, coordinating SEC disclosure requirements, FINRA ticker transition, and a shareholder communications program that preserved the company's 100-year legacy narrative while signaling a forward-looking identity to new institutional investors.
