Item 3.03    Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.03    Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

As previously disclosed, on May 24, 2019, the stockholders of Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) approved at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) a proposal to authorize the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its discretion but on or before November 3, 2019, to amend the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “COI”), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock (“Common Stock”) at a ratio not less than 1-for-30 and not greater than 1-for-70, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board and included in a public announcement (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

The Board subsequently approved, in accordance with the authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, a 1-for-70 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On June 3, 2019, the Company filed the Certificate of Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to its COI with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, effective June 7, 2019 (the “Effective Date”).

 

When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every seventy (70) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically be reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share.  No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.

 

American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will send instructions to stockholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of their certificates for post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.

 

Commencing on June 7, 2019, trading of the Company’s Common Stock will continue on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 47010C409. The new specimen Common Stock certificate of the Company is being filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1.

 

The foregoing description of the Fifth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fifth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
