Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 16, 2013, Skyline Medical Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary of the same name, Skyline Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Skyline-DE ”), in order to change the Company’s state of incorporation from Minnesota to Delaware (the “ Merger ”). The Merger Agreement and Merger were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of the Shareholders on September 10, 2013. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into Skyline-DE and Skyline-DE is the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”).

 

Each share of common stock of the Company that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“ Common Stock ”), so that the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Merger became the holders of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation upon the effectiveness of the Merger.

 

As a result of the Merger, all of the assets, property, rights, privileges and powers of the Company became vested in the Surviving Corporation and all of the obligations of the Company became obligations of the Surviving Corporation. The officers and directors of the Company immediately preceding the effectiveness of the Merger became the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation.

 

The incumbent officers and directors of the Company will also be the officers and directors of the Delaware Company at the Effective Time.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation will continue to be quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SKLN” and the CUSIP number of the Common Stock will not change.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

This Item 3.03 incorporates by reference Item 1.01. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger and as a result of the Merger Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Skyline-DE became the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company was a Minnesota corporation, and Minnesota law and the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company governed the rights of its shareholders. The Surviving Corporation is a Delaware corporation and the rights of its stockholders are governed by Delaware law and by the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

 

2
 

  

The major changes to the rights of the Company’s security holders, which are due in part to the Merger and in part to the decision by the Company’s board of directors to change the Company’s corporate governance structure, are as follows:

 

· the Surviving Corporation’s charter documents provide for an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 800,000,000 shares and an authorization of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock;
· the Surviving Corporation’s charter documents do not restrict its stockholders from taking an action by written consent if it is signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares that would have been required to effect the action at a meeting of the stockholders as permitted under Delaware law. Under Minnesota law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting of a publicly held company may only be taken by written consent without a meeting if such written consent is signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on such action, and a publicly held company cannot provide for a lower threshold in its articles of incorporation;
· the Surviving Corporation’s charter documents do not provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of directors, which the Surviving Corporation’s stockholders were previously entitled under Minnesota corporate law; and
· the Surviving Corporation’s charter documents do not provide for preemptive rights, to which the Surviving Corporation’s stockholders were previously entitled under Minnesota corporate law.

At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible to serve as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this bylaw. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.10.
