Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 20, 2024, Elevai Labs Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Third and Amended Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to effect a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “reverse stock split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on November 27, 2024. The Certificate of Amendment has no effect on the par value of the Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and stockholders received one share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share.
The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 12, 2024, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-200, with the exact ratio, if approved and effected at all, to be set within that range at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On August 22, 2024, the board of directors approved a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-200, with the exact ratio, if approved and effected at all, to be set within that range at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
The Amendment provides that at the Effective Time, every 200 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be reclassified, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares will not be issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split shall be entitled to receive one whole share at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split.
The Company is effectuating the Reverse Stock Split as part of its efforts to achieve compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq.
VStock Transfer, LLC is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will send instructions to stockholders of record who hold stock certificates regarding the exchange of certificates for Common Stock, should they wish to do so. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares.
The Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market when the market opens on November 27, 2024. The trading symbol for the Common Stock remains “ELAB.” The Common Stock will be assigned a new CUSIP number (28622K 203) following the reverse stock split.
The Company has adjusted the number of shares available for future grant under its equity incentive plan and has also adjusted the number of outstanding awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding stock options and other terms of outstanding awards issued to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
