Item 5.03. Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
As described in Item 5.07 below, the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Sezzle Inc. (the “Company”) was held on November 19, 2024. The stockholders of the Company voted, among other things, to approve the Company’s Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”). The changes approved by the Company’s stockholders were as follows:
•First, the Restated Certificate amends Article IX, Section 1 to remove the prohibition on the ability of stockholders of the Company to take action by written consent, and will now permit our stockholders to take action by written consent where we have obtained the written consent of not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting where all shares entitled to vote are present and voted, as permitted by Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
•Second, the Restated Certificate no longer includes 300 million authorized shares of “common prime stock.” The prior certificate of incorporation authorized the issuance of this common prime stock as part of the Company’s initial public offering in Australia and listing on The Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”) in 2019, and Articles IV(B) and V set forth the terms in which the common prime stock would be issued. In 2023, the Company completed its delisting from the ASX and there is no longer any need for any authorized shares of common prime stock. Accordingly, the Restated Certificate revises Article IV, IV(B) and V to remove the provisions governing common prime stock.
The foregoing descriptions of the Restated Certificate do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Certificate, which are attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Amendments became effective upon the filing and acceptance of the Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 20, 2024.
