Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 10, 2024, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) filed a First Certificate of Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 15, 2024 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on June 6, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effect a reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which consists of Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock, at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-50 (the “Range”), with the ratio within such Range to be determined at the discretion of the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”) and included in a public announcement. Upon receipt of the stockholder approval, the Board was granted the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock through the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-50, with such ratio to be determined by the Board. Following stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Board determined a ratio of 1-for-10 for the Reverse Stock Split.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, will remain unchanged at 330,000,000 shares.
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on NYSE American on July 15, 2024. The trading symbol for the Common Stock remains “CLDI.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 320703309. The Company’s publicly-traded warrants will continue to be traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “CLDI WS” and the CUSIP for the publicly-traded warrants will not change.
The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
