Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders |
On September 15, 2016, Reliv International, Inc. (“Registrant”) issued a press release to announce that its Board of Directors has set the ratio of the reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $.001 per share, at one-for-seven (1:7). The reverse stock split was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2016 subject to the decision by the Board of Directors to proceed with the reverse stock split and to set the ratio.
The reverse stock split will become effective on October 3, 2016 and the Company’s common stock will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 4, 2016. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RELV” but will trade under the new CUSIP number 75952R 209.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share will receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment which shall represent a pro-rata portion of the value per share based upon the closing market price for the five days preceding the effective date of the reverse split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in "street name" will not be required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Stockholders of record as of October 3, 2016 who hold share certificates will receive instructions from the Company's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust, who is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. American Stock Transfer and Trust will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the process for exchanging shares.
