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

As previously reported, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) held on April 8, 2022, stockholders holding more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved a proposed amendment to the Articles of Organization authorizing the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio to be determined by the Board within a stated range of 1:1.5 to 1:3.

On the basis of such approval, the Board decided to proceed with the reverse split at a ratio of 1:3 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company filed Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 24, 2022. Under that filing, the Reverse Stock Split was to become effective after the close of business on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Due to unanticipated delays in obtaining necessary trading clearances, however, the Company on October 26, 2022 made a further Articles of Amendment filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth to override the earlier amendment and thus avoid the reverse split taking effect later that day.

Having received appropriate indications on October 27, 2022 that the necessary trading clearances would be forthcoming, the Company then set a new effective date of the Reverse Stock Split for 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 (the “Revised Effective Time”) and filed additional Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth accordingly on October 27, 2022.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock at the Revised Effective Time were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders that would have otherwise received fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of the fractional shares at the average closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported for the last five trading days before the Reverse Stock Split became effective. The Reverse Stock Split reduces the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 16,915,089 shares to approximately 5,638,302 shares, after reduction for the elimination of fractional shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the Articles of Organization remains unchanged, at 50,000,000 shares.

Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options previously granted by the Company, and to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s existing 2011, 2021, and 2022 Equity Incentive Plans.

The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the OTCQB on November 2, 2022, that being the day after the Revised Effective Time. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is: 740294400.

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the described Articles of Amendment, copies of which are filed with this report as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2.

Precision Optics Announces Implementation of 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split in

Preparation for Planned Uplisting to Nasdaq

GARDNER, MA, October 26, 2022. Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTCQB: PEYE) (the “Company”) announced today that it will affect a 1-for-3 reverse split of its common stock in preparation for the planned listing of the common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The reverse stock split is scheduled to become effective after the close of business on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). The stock is then expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 27, 2022, under the temporary ticker symbol “PEYED” pending completion of the listing on Nasdaq. Once the listing on Nasdaq occurs, the trading symbol for the shares will change to “POCI.”

The Company has filed its listing application with Nasdaq and believes it presently satisfies all applicable listing requirements other than the minimum share price condition. The reverse stock split is intended to enable the Company to meet that condition. Provided that the closing stock price for 5 consecutive trading days after the reverse stock split is at least $3.00 and provided that the 30-day split-adjusted average daily volume is at least 2,000 shares, the Company expects the listing of its shares on Nasdaq will occur in the first or second week of November 2022.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 3 outstanding shares of common stock will be exchanged for 1 share of common stock, with any fractional shares being paid out by the Company in cash. The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive cash (rounded up to the nearest cent, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) in lieu of such fractional share from the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on OTCQB for the five trading days before the Effective Time, by (b) the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the Effective Time that were converted into fractional shares. Holders of the Company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from the Company’s transfer agent regarding their post-split common stock ownership.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Company’s common stock outstanding from 16,915,089 shares to approximately 5,638,363 shares, subject to further reduction for the elimination of fractional shares.

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 8, 2022, stockholders approved an amendment of the Articles of Organization to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio in the range of 1:1.5 to 1:3. Pursuant to that authority, the Company’s board recently approved the 1:3 reverse stock split ratio.

Precision Optics Announces Delay in Effective Date of Reverse Split

GARDNER, MA, October 27, 2022. Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTCQB: PEYE) (the “Company”) announced today that the Company is amending the date for its reverse stock split, due to an unanticipated delay in obtaining necessary regulatory clearances. The Company expects to announce revised timing for the reverse split in the near future.

The reverse split of its common stock is related to the Company’s application for listing of the common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The Company remains committed to both the completion of the reverse split and the planned listing on Nasdaq.

Precision Optics Announces Updated Implementation Date of 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split in Preparation for Planned Uplisting to Nasdaq

GARDNER, MA, November 2, 2022. Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTCQB: PEYE) (the “Company”) announced today that the planned 1-for-3 reverse split of its common stock became effective after the close of business on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). The stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on November 2, 2022. Temporarily (for a maximum of 20 trading days), the ticker symbol for the Company’s common stock will show as “PEYED” instead of PEYE.

The reverse stock split is expected to facilitate the Company’s listing application with Nasdaq. Among other conditions, that listing requires that the Company’s closing stock price for 5 consecutive trading days is at least $3.00 and that the 30-day split-adjusted average daily volume is at least 2,000 shares. Subject to satisfying those conditions, Company management anticipates that the Nasdaq listing will likely occur in the coming weeks.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 3 outstanding shares of common stock were exchanged for 1 share of common stock. No fractional shares are being issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive cash (computed at the 5-day average closing price, rounded up to the nearest cent), without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Those who hold Company common stock in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who hold of record will be receiving information about their shares from the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

The reverse stock split reduces the number of shares of Company’s common stock outstanding from 16,915,089 shares to approximately 5,638,302 shares. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and does not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except for the purchase of the holder’s fractional shares.
