Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
The information set forth under Item 2.02 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
Stryve Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a First Certificate of Amendment to its First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. EST on July 14, 2023 authorizing a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A and V common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 9, 2023.
Reason for the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split is being effected to enable the Company to restore compliance with the continued listing standard of NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”).
Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
Effective Date; Symbol; CUSIP Number. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 14, 2023, and will be reflected with NASDAQ and in the marketplace at the open of business on July 14, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of Class A common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s shares of Class A common stock will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “SNAX” but will trade under a new CUSIP Number: 863685202.
Split Adjustment; No Fractional Shares. On the Effective Date, the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A and V common stock held by each stockholder will be converted automatically into the number of whole shares of Class A or V common stock, as applicable, equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares held by such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 15.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to an amount in cash (without interest or deduction) equal to the fraction of one share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on NASDAQ on July 13, 2023. Except for the right to receive the cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, stockholders will not have any voting, dividend or other rights with respect to the fractional shares they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms or with the Company’s transfer agent (Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company) do not have to take any action as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their accounts.
State Filing. The Reverse Stock Split is being effected by the Company filing the Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 11, 2023. The Certificate is not effective until the Effective Date. A copy of the Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Capitalization. The Reverse Stock Split did not impact the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock. In light of the limited purpose of the Class V common stock, the Certificate will reduce the number of authorized shares of Class V common stock from 200 million to 15 million (and will correspondingly reduce the total authorized shares by such amount).
As of July 12, 2023, there were 26,367,185 shares of Class A common stock and 6,080,196 shares of Class V common stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, there will be approximately 1,757,812 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 405,346 shares of Class V common stock outstanding (subject in each instance to adjustment due to the effect of providing cash for fractional shares). The Reverse Stock Split will not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock.
The Reverse Stock Split does not affect the Company’s authorized preferred stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s authorized preferred Stock of 10,000,000 shares remained unchanged.
Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remains virtually unchanged as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from providing cash for fractional shares.
All options and warrants of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be appropriately adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s 10,997,500 outstanding public warrants that trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “SNAXW” will adjust to the right to purchase 0.0666667 shares of Class A common stock for an exercise price of $172.50.
