Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
Effective September 7, 2018, Xspand Products Lab, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its name to Edison Nation, Inc. The name change was made in accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation in the merger. The Company effectuated the merger by filing Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. In connection with the merger, the Company amended Article I of its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s corporate name to Edison Nation, Inc. With the exception of the name change, there were no other changes to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. A copy of the Articles of Merger as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On September 6, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws and omnibus incentive plan solely to reflect the name change described above. A copy of the amended and restated bylaws and omnibus incentive plan are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.2 and 3.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Additionally, as of the opening of trading on September 13, 2018, the ticker symbol of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market will be “EDNT” and the CUSIP number of the Company’s common stock will be 28103E106. The Company’s name and ticker symbol change do not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders, creditors, customers or suppliers. Following the name change, any stock certificates that reflect the Company’s prior name will continue to be valid. Certificates reflecting the new name will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to our transfer agent.
