Item 3.03.Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, 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 March 15, 2019, Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Amendment”), which effected, immediately upon filing, a one-for-eight reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was combined into one share of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 94.1 million shares to approximately 11.8 million shares. No fractional shares were 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 receive a proportional cash payment.

 

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Common Stock or the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. All options, warrants, and convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be adjusted in accordance with their terms.

 

As previously disclosed, at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 21, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”) the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio in the range of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Pursuant to the authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Trading of the Common Stock on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market will begin at the opening of trading on March 18, 2019. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the Common Stock will also commence trading with a new CUSIP number, 69012T206, at such time.

 

The Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. AST will provide instructions to record stockholders for receiving payment for any fractional shares. Those stockholders holding Common Stock in “street name” will receive instructions from their brokers.

 

The summary of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On March 15, 2019, the Company issued a press release with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, a copy of which is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
