Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation 

 

On January 3, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effectuate an increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of its Class A common stock to 500,000,000 from 200,000,000 (the “Authorized Increase”). The number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class B common stock remains at 25,000,000 and the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock remains at 25,000,000. As a result of the increase of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, the aggregate number of the Company’s authorized shares is 550,000,000. The Authorized Increase was approved by the Company’s board of directors as of December 28, 2018 and approved by a vote of the stockholders of the Company at the December 28, 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Certificate of Amendment became effective upon filing with the State of Delaware on January 3, 2019.

 

On March 14, 2019, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment (the “COI Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Common Stock affecting both the authorized and issued and outstanding number of such shares by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company filed the COI Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware effectuating the Reverse Stock Split on March 14, 2019. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each twenty (20) shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split were converted into one (1) share of common stock, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share.
