| ITEM 5.03 | AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS |
Effective at the close of business on June 13, 2014, we amended our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of our common stock (the “Reverse Split”) and to reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 20,000,000 from 150,000,000. Immediately following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, there were approximately 2,869,739 shares of our common stock outstanding. Stockholders will receive a cash payment in lieu of any issuance of fractional shares. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt and the associated exercise or conversion prices will be adjusted accordingly for the Reverse Split.
At our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2014, our stockholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation that would (1) effect a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio between 1:10 to 1:20 to be determined by the board of directors in its discretion and (2) if the reverse split is effected, decrease the number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue from 150,000,000 to the greater of (A) 20,000,000 and (B) the number of shares equal to three (3) times the sum of the number of all shares of our common stock outstanding and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt. Our stockholders further authorized the board of directors to determine the ratio at which the reverse split would be effected and the corresponding reduction in authorized shares of common stock by filing an appropriate amendment to our certificate of incorporation. Our board of directors authorized the ratio of the Reverse Split and corresponding reduction in authorized shares on June 6, 2014.
A copy of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
