Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or bylaws: Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 27, 2021, SRAX, Inc. (“Company”) issued 36,412,417 shares of Series A Non-voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) as a dividend to holders of its (i) Class A common stock (“Common Stock”), (ii) certain warrants to purchase Common Stock, and (iii) the Company’s original issue discount senior convertible debentures. The Company’s certificate of designation of preferences, rights and limitations of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the “COD”) authorized the issuance of up to 36,412,417 shares of Series A Stock. As a result of an oversight, the Company determined that a holder of a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Holder”) that had a contractual right to receive the Series A Stock dividend was not included in such dividend. As a result, on December 23, 2021, the Company issued an additional 50,000 shares of Series A Stock to such Warrant Holder (the “Putative Issuance”). As a result of the Putative Issuance, the Company exceeded its authorized shares of Series A Stock by 50,000 shares in excess of what was authorized under the COD.
Pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) adopted a resolution ratifying the Putative Issuance on January 24, 2022. On January 31, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Validation (the “Validation Certificate”) and a Certificate of Increase of the COD (“Certificate of Increase”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Delaware SOS”) approving the Putative Issuance and authorizing an increase of 50,000 shares of Series A Stock, or an aggregate of 36,462,417 shares of Series A Stock effective as of December 23, 2021, the date such Putative Issuance occurred.
A copy of the Validation Certificate and Certificate of Increase, as filed, are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.01(i) and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The Validation Certificate and Certificate of Increase have been filed, but not yet approved by the Delaware SOS. There is no guarantee that the Validation Certificate or Certificate of Increase will be approved. In the event that Company is required by the Delaware SOS to amend either the Validation Certificate or Certificate of Increase, or is required to include any additional document, an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosing such amendment as applicable.
Item 8.01 Other Items
Stockholder Notice.
Pursuant to Section 204(g) of the DGCL, the Company is required to send all of our current stockholders and stockholders as of the day of the Putative Issuance (including the party that received the Putative Issuance), the resolutions adopted by the Board ratifying the Putative Issuance within sixty (60) days of such resolutions, which occurred on January 24, 2022 (the “Notice”). Section 204(g) of the DGCL authorizes the Company, as a company with a class of stock listed on a national securities exchange, to provide such Notice in a document publicly filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to §13, §14 or §15(d) (15 U.S.C. §78m, §77n or §78o(d)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent United States federal securities laws, rules or regulations.
Accordingly, a copy of the Notice is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.01 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
