INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 hereby amends the registration statement on Form 8-A filed by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2015, by supplementing Items 1 and 2 with the following.
Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
As previously disclosed, on October 2, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved the redemption of all the outstanding preferred stock purchase rights (the “Rights”) granted pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated March 1, 2015, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Immediately upon the action of the Board to approve the redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights terminated, which effectively terminated the Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement and a Notice of Redemption, dated October 15, 2021, the Rights were redeemed at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right.
On February 1, 2022, the Company filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) a Certificate of Elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”), which, effective on February 1, 2022, eliminated from the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designations of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Par Value $0.001 Per Share, of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (the “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock”), as filed with the Secretary of State of the State February 26, 2015. The 50,000 shares of preferred stock previously designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were eliminated and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation. No shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at the time of filing the Certificate of Elimination.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rights Agreement, including the amendment thereto entered into on December 20, 2019, and the Certificate of Elimination, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 3.1, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
