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

On August 15, 2016, Smith Micro Software, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every four (4) shares outstanding, so that every four (4) outstanding shares of common stock before the Reverse Split represents one (1) share of common stock after the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on August 15, 2016, will be effective on August 17, 2016.

Immediately prior to the Reverse Split, there were approximately 49.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. After the Reverse Split, there will be approximately 12.3 million shares outstanding. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged after the Reverse Split except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from rounding of fractional interests. To the extent the Reverse Split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share, such stockholder will receive a cash payment and the fractional share will be canceled. The rights and privileges of the holders of common stock are substantially unaffected by the Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split was effected for the following purposes:

 

    to enable the Company to regain compliance with the requirement that the Company maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 during a consecutive 30 trading-day period as required by the NASDAQ Capital Market;

 

    to help make the Company more attractive to a broader range of investors, including professional investors, institutional investors and the general investing public, which may enhance the liquidity of the common stock for the Company’s holders; and

 

    to reduce the amount of fees and taxes that the Company pays to NASDAQ, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and agencies for custody and clearing services, which are based on or related to the number of shares the Company has outstanding, or to the number of shares being held, cleared or registered, as applicable.

Additional information regarding the Reverse Split is available in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on July 15, 2016. Copies of the Certificate of Amendment and the press release are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 3.1 and 99.1, respectively.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On August 15, 2016, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders to vote on an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of either 1-for-3 or 1-for-4, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s stockholders approved the proposal, with the voting results listed below.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF

SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE, INC.

Smith Micro Software, Inc. (hereinafter called the “ Corporation ”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL “), does hereby certify that:

FIRST: This Certificate of Amendment amends the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

SECOND: The terms and provisions of this Certificate of Amendment have been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.

THIRD: Article IV of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph immediately following “Section A” of such Article:

“Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “ Effective Time ) of this Certificate of Amendment pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, each four (4) shares of the corporation’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be reclassified and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests described below (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the first trading day that commences after the Reverse Stock Split is effective on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (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.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the Corporation has caused this certificate to be executed on this 15 th day of August, 2016.

Smith Micro Announces 1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock

Aliso Viejo, CA, August 16, 2016 Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-4 reverse split of its common stock. The reverse split will become effective prior to the start of trading on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, and the common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 17, 2016 on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company’s stockholders, at a special meeting of stockholders held on August 15, 2016, approved the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split is being implemented to maintain the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires that the Company maintain a minimum bid price for its common stock of at least $1.00. However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have the desired effect of maintaining a minimum bid for the common stock above this price.

“The reverse stock split is intended to satisfy the Nasdaq minimum share price requirement and does not have any impact on Smith Micro’s operations,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro. “We continue to have confidence in our business case, and in the long term prospects of our company.”

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 49.3 million to approximately 12.3 million. The number of authorized shares of the Company common stock will remain unchanged.

Stockholders who hold existing stock certificates will receive written instructions by mail from the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Such stockholders will be contacted by their brokers with instructions. To the extent the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owing a fractional share, such stockholder will receive a cash payment and the fractional share will be canceled.


Additional information regarding the reverse stock split is available in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2016.
