Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On August 5, 2019, Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), without any change to its par value.  The Amendment became effective on the filing date. The Reverse Stock Split will be effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 6, 2019.  There was no change in the Company’s Nasdaq ticker symbol, “PSTV,” as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock has been changed to 72941H400. Upon effectiveness, each 50 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one newly issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. The Company’s 5,000,000 shares of authorized Preferred Stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of Common Stock that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Outstanding equity awards and the shares available for future grant under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 2014 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and 2015 New Employee Incentive Plan were proportionately reduced (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and the exercise prices of outstanding equity awards were proportionately increased (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

  

A copy of the Amendment is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1, and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.
