Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
On January 16, 205, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock at a ratio of one share for every 5 shares outstanding prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split became effective on January 24, 2025. The total number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 4,500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. The par value of the class Common Stock will remain the same at $0.001 per share. The 10,000,000 authorized shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share will not change.
Each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in our company and the proportional voting power remains unchanged after the reverse stock split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from rounding up of fractional interests. The rights and privileges of the holders of our common stock are unaffected by the reverse stock split.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached to this current report as Exhibit 3.7.
On January 24, 2025, we issued a press release announcing the reverse stock split was effective as of January 24, 2025. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
