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

On February 24, 2015, Solar3D, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effect a 1-for-26 reverse split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”);

The above description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 8.01             Other Events.

The Reverse Stock Split was announced by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on February 24, 2015 and became effective on February 25, 2015.  This action followed approval by the holders of the majority of the Company’s voting capital as of January 14, 2015, which approval granted authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than one for fifteen and not more than one for forty, in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On February 24, 2015, each 26 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one share of common stock. The Company is not issuing fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and will round fractional shares up to the next whole share.

On February 25, 2015, to indicate the reverse stock split, a “D” was appended to the Company’s trading symbol and for a period of 20 business days the Company’s common stock will trade under the symbol “SLTDD.”  After the 20 business days, the Company’s trading symbol will revert to “SLTD.”

Additional information about the Reverse Stock Split is available in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2015.

The undersigned, being the President and Chief Executive Officer of Solar3D, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, do hereby certify under the seal of the said corporation as follows:

1.      The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by replacing Article FOURTH, in its entirety, with the following:
 
“FOURTH:

     A. CAPITALIZATION. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is One Billion Five  Million  (1,005,000,000)  shares,  consisting  of (a) One  Billion (1,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), and (b) Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Preferred Stock").

     B. PREFERRED STOCK. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") is authorized to provide, by resolution, for one or more series of Preferred Stock to be comprised of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock. Except as may be required by law, the shares in any series of Preferred Stock need not be identical to any other series of Preferred Stock. Before any shares of any such series of Preferred Stock are issued, the Board of Directors shall fix, and is hereby expressly empowered to fix, by resolution, the rights, preferences and privileges of, and qualifications, restrictions and limitations applicable to, such series.

     The Board of Directors is authorized to increase the number of shares of the Preferred Stock designated for any existing series of Preferred Stock by a resolution adding to such series authorized and unissued shares of the Preferred Stock not designated for any other series of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to decrease the number of shares of the Preferred Stock designated for any existing series of Preferred Stock by a resolution, subtracting from such series unissued shares of the Preferred Stock designated for such series.

     C. COMMON STOCK.

1. Except as otherwise required by law, and subject to any special voting rights which may be granted to any additional series of Preferred Stock in the Board of Directors resolutions which create such series, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in such holder's name on the records of the Corporation on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of Common Stock shall not have the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors of the Corporation.

2. Subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, in cash, securities or property of the Corporation, as may be declared thereon from time to time by the Board of Directors, out of the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

3. Upon filing and effectiveness of this Amendment, each twenty-six (26)  shares of Common Stock outstanding on the effective date of this Amendment shall be automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock and, in lieu of fractional shares, each share so converted shall be rounded up to the next highest number of full shares of Common Stock.
