On June 7, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected, as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the Effective Date, a 1-for-12 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”).
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to, among other things, bring the Company into compliance with the $1.00 minimum average closing share price requirement for continued listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), as previously reported in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”).
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twelve shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock were automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Class A Common Stock are instead entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Class A Common Stock or the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock. All outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and performance stock units entitling their holders to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, as the case may be, were adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, as required by the terms of these securities and described in the Proxy Statement.
The Class A Common Stock will begin trading on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis on the NYSE at the market open on June 8, 2023. The trading symbol for the Class A Common Stock will remain “APRN.” The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 09523Q 309.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated into this report by reference.

OF
BLUE APRON HOLDINGS, INC.
Pursuant to Section 242 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify as follows:
FIRST: A resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware setting forth an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The stockholders of the Corporation duly approved said proposed amendment in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The resolution setting forth the amendment is as follows:
RESOLVED: That the first sentence of Article FOURTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be and hereby is deleted in its entirety and the following three paragraphs are inserted in lieu thereof:
“FOURTH: That, effective upon the effective time of this Certificate of Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), a one-for-twelve reverse stock split of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), shall become effective, pursuant to which each twelve shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Corporation (including treasury shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Effective Time and shall represent one share of Class A Common Stock from and after the Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain at $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Class A Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock, to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of business on the trading day preceding the date of the Effective Time.
Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock, after the Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock after the Effective Time); provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate or, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock, after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified.
The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 2,185,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), 175,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class B Common Stock”), 500,000,000 shares of Class C Capital Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class C Capital Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).”
SECOND: This Certificate of Amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 7, 2023.
