Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On August 29, 2023, SeqLL Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) effect a reverse stock split of its issued common stock, par value $.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), in the ratio of one-for-40 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) to be effective at 11:59 p.m., eastern time, on August 30, 2023, and (ii) to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company to 320,000,000 shares, of which 300,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, and 20,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock (the “Capital Stock Increase”). The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on August 31, 2023.
The Reverse Stock Split and the Capital Stock Increase were previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company was not changed solely as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
On August 30, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split and the Capital Stock Increase, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
