Companies never pre-announce a reverse split. Haitron stated: "Management does not anticipate a reverse split of the stock to achieve the increased share objective," - The "share objective" is the uplisting to the otcqb, which should be completed before the 2nd, or 3rd quarter. Than a reverse split, either before the 3rd, or 4 quarter of 2018, and possibly early 2019, where we can expect a 1 for 100 - 250 reverse split.
Halitron only has to get the bid test for 1-trading day to close at .01 within this 30-day uplisting period to complete the uplisting to the otcqb.
