The information contained in Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 18, 2024, ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-58 reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective for trading purposes upon the commencement of trading on September 23, 2024, at which point the Company’s common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each 58 shares of issued and outstanding common stock and equivalents were converted into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion, and the per share exercise or conversion price, of the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and convertible preferred stock, in each case in accordance with their terms.
The Reverse Stock Split does not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock under the Certificate of Incorporation. Therefore, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split does not alter the par value of the common stock or preferred stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock or any series of preferred stock. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders held on February 23, 2024.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 19, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of such press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
