Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 20, 2025, Azitra, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-6.66 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The Company’s stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split and granted the board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on February 20, 2025.
The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on August 21, 2025 at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”) and the Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on August 21, 2025 at market open. As of the Effective Time, every 6.66 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of Common Stock.
The par value and other terms of the Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock CUSIP number will be 05479L 302.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to (i) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding August 20, 2025, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split that were reclassified into such fractional share pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
