Reverse Split Amendment
On September 15, 2025, Biodesix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”). As previously disclosed, at its annual meeting of stockholders held on May 20, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to authorize the Board to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio between 1:2 to 1:20 shares of Common Stock (the “Split Ratio Range”), inclusive, with the final determination of a ratio within the Split Ratio Range to be approved by the Board following stockholder approval. On September 4, 2025, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-twenty. Following such approval, the Company filed an amendment to its Charter (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split, with an effective time of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on September 15, 2025. On September 15, 2025, the Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 09075X207.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock are instead entitled to a check representing the cash value equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported by Nasdaq, on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.
Certificate of Elimination
On September 12, 2025, Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Delaware Secretary of State effecting the elimination of all provisions of the Certificate of Designations previously filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 8, 2024 related to a series of preferred stock designated as Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Elimination was effective upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 12, 2025.
The foregoing descriptions of the Reverse Split Amendment and the Certificate of Elimination do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Reverse Split Amendment and the Certificate of Elimination, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
