The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. and to implement a reverse stock split in the ratio of 1 share for every 1,000 shares of common stock. This amendment was approved and filed of record by the Florida Secretary of State on October 12, 2015, effective on October 19, 2015.  FINRA has declared the Company’s 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split market effective as of November 4, 2015. The reverse stock split will reduce the Company’s common stock outstanding from approximately 1,131,941,619 shares to approximately 1,131,942 shares. The number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock remained unchanged.  All fractional shares will be rounded up and each shareholder will receive new certificates evidencing their post-reverse split shares if and when they present their certificates to the transfer agent.

The trading symbol after December 2, 2015 will be USRM (OTC Markets). Current stock certificates may be exchanged for new certificates by contacting the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The text of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation is incorporated herein and filed as Exhibit 3.1.
