Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 2, 2023, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected, as of 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 2, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s shares of common stock and proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 61,666,666 to 3,083,333 (together, the “Reverse Stock Split”). On November 11, 2022, the Company’s stockholders authorized the board of directors to effect a reverse stock split by a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 and a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock. The board of directors subsequently approved the Reverse Stock Split and authorized the filing of the Charter, as previously announced on May 31, 2023, in order to enable the Company to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The Charter provides that at the Effective Time, every twenty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any further action by the Company or the holder thereof, and that the number of shares of common stock the Company has authority to issue was reduced from 61,666,666 to 3,083,333. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares received the number of shares rounded up to the next whole share. The Reverse Stock Split applied equally to all outstanding shares of the common stock and did not modify the rights or preferences of the common stock. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, and the number of shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s existing incentive compensation and employee stock purchase plans was reduced on a proportionate basis. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock.

The Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Select Market commencing upon market open on June 5, 2023. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “ACOR,” and the new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 00484M700.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Charter, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On June 2, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

ACORDA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Pursuant to Section 242 and 245 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

The name of the corporation (the “Corporation”) is Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. The original certificate of incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 17, 1995.

This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate of Incorporation”) was duly adopted by the board of directors and the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 141(f), 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated to date, is hereby further amended and restated to read in full as follows:

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Acorda Therapeutics, Inc.

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is to be located at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, (New Castle County), Delaware 19801. The name of its registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

FOURTH: The Corporation shall have the authority to issue a total of 23,083,333 shares, divided into classes of (i) 3,083,333 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Pursuant to the DGCL, at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of filing (the “Effective Time”) of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each twenty shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of shares rounded up to the next whole number. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (each, an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Corporation will notify its stockholders holding shares of Common Stock in certificated form to transmit their Old Certificates to the transfer agent, and the Corporation will cause the transfer agent

to issue new certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split for every one share of Common Stock transmitted and held of record as of the Effective Time.

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

A. COMMON STOCK.

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to, and qualified by, the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock shall have voting rights at all meetings of stockholders, each such holder being entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (which, as used herein, shall mean the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time, including the terms of any certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation. There shall be no cumulative voting.

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3. Dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as, if and when determined by the Board of Directors and subject to any limitations or restrictions contained in, or any preferential dividend rights of, any then outstanding Preferred Stock.

4. Liquidation. Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, subject to any preferential or other rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock.

5. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable by its terms.

B. PREFERRED STOCK.

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided.

Authority hereby is expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof, to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications,

limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.

The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

FIFTH: Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

SIXTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by the laws of the State of Delaware, and subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present. The Bylaws of the Corporation also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors, in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation inconsistent with, this Article Sixth.

SEVENTH: A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment or repeal of this Article Seventh, or subsequently adopted inconsistent provision of this Certificate of Incorporation shall decrease the protection afforded to a director by this Article with respect to any act or omission of the director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

EIGHTH: (a) (i) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless to the full extent not prohibited by law, as the same exists or may hereinafter be amended, interpreted or implemented (but, in the case of any amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than are permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in (as a witness or otherwise) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise (hereinafter, a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the heir, executor or administrator, is or was a director or officer of

the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans), or where the basis of such proceeding is any alleged action or failure to take any action by such person while acting in an official capacity as director or officer of the Corporation or in any other capacity on behalf of the Corporation while such person is or was serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, against all expenses, liability and loss, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, judgments, fine, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement (whether with or without court approval), actually and reasonably incurred or paid by such person in connection therewith.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in subsection (b) of this Article Eighth, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation.

(iii) Subject to the limitation set forth above concerning proceedings initiated by the person seeking indemnification, the right to indemnification conferred in this Article Eighth shall include the option to be reimbursed by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding (or part thereof) or in enforcing his or her rights under this Article Eighth in advance of the final disposition thereof promptly after receipt by the Corporation of a request therefor stating in reasonable detail the expenses incurred; provided, however, that to the extent required by law, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if and to the extent it shall ultimately be determined by a court that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article Eighth or otherwise.

(iv) The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or to serve in any of the other capacities described herein, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs executors and administrators of such person.

(b) If a claim for indemnification under subsection (a) of this Article Eighth is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may, at any time thereafter, bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part on the merits or otherwise in establishing his or her right to indemnification or to the advancement of expenses, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.

(c) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of a final disposition conferred in subsection (a) of this Article Eighth and the right to payment of expenses conferred in subsection (b) of this Article Eighth shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, vote of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in his or her official capacity and as to actions in any other capacity while holding that office, the Corporation having the express authority to enter into such agreements or arrangements as the board of directors deems appropriate for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to present or future directors and officers as well as employees, representatives or agents of the Corporation in connection with their status with or services to or on behalf of the Corporation or any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan, for which such person is serving at the request of the Corporation.

(d) The Corporation may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not, be under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations,

including its obligation to advance expenses, whether arising under or pursuant to this Article Eighth or otherwise.

(e) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer or representative of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the laws of this or any other state.

(f) Neither the modification, amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article Eighth or any of its provisions nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with this Article Eighth or any of its provisions shall adversely affect the rights of any person to indemnification and advancement of expenses existing at the time of such modification, amendment, alteration or repeal or the adoption of such inconsistent provision.

PEARL RIVER, NY – June 2, 2023 – Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today announced that it has completed the previously announced 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its outstanding and authorized shares of common stock. The reverse stock split became effective at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time today, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on June 5, 2023. The reverse stock split was effected to enable the Company to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

On November 11, 2022, the Company’s stockholders authorized the board of directors to effect a reverse stock split by a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 and a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock. The board of directors subsequently approved the reverse stock split and authorized the filing of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as previously announced on May 31, 2023.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “ACOR,” and the new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split is 00484M700.

Stockholders owning shares of common stock via a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and will not be required to take further action in connection with the reverse stock split, subject to their brokers’ particular processes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding management's expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects should be considered forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including: we may not be able to successfully market INBRIJA, AMPYRA or any other products under development; the COVID-19 pandemic, including related restrictions on in-person interactions and travel, and the potential for illness, quarantines and vaccine mandates affecting our management, employees or consultants or those that work for other companies we rely upon, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations or product sales; our ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel, or maintain access to expert advisors; our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations, repay outstanding indebtedness or satisfy other obligations, and our ability to control our costs or reduce planned expenditures; the reverse stock split and its impact on the trading of our common stock; risks related

to the successful implementation of our business plan, including the accuracy of its key assumptions; risks related to our corporate restructurings, including our ability to outsource certain operations, realize expected cost savings and maintain the workforce needed for continued operations; risks associated with complex, regulated manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, which could affect whether we have sufficient commercial supply of INBRIJA or AMPYRA to meet market demand; our reliance on third-party manufacturers for the timely production of commercial supplies of INBRIJA and AMPYRA; third-party payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use of INBRIJA or AMPYRA at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; reliance on collaborators and distributors to commercialize INBRIJA and AMPYRA outside the U.S.; our ability to satisfy our obligations to distributors and collaboration partners outside the U.S. relating to commercialization and supply of INBRIJA and AMPYRA; competition for INBRIJA and AMPYRA, including increasing competition and accompanying loss of revenues in the U.S. from generic versions of AMPYRA (dalfampridine) following our loss of patent exclusivity; the ability to realize the benefits anticipated from acquisitions because, among other reasons, acquired development programs are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired programs generally improves over time; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of INBRIJA (levodopa inhalation powder) or from other research and development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class-action litigation; failure to protect our intellectual property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others or to obtain third-party intellectual property licenses needed for the commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.

These and other risks are described in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may not actually achieve the goals or plans described in our forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements made in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this press release, except as may be required by law.
