Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Applied UV, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Change to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Change”) to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the “reverse stock split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on December 12, 2023, and simultaneously decrease the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock at the same ratio as the reverse stock split. The Certificate of Change has no effect on the par value of the Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and stockholders received one share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share.
The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market when the market opened on December 12, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock remains “AUVI.” The Common Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number (037988300) following the reverse stock split.
The Company has adjusted the number of shares available for future grant under its equity incentive plan and has also adjusted the number of outstanding awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding stock options and other terms of outstanding awards issued to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.
A copy of the Certificate of Change is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
