Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On July 29, 2015, SITO Mobile, Ltd. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 3.1.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 9, 2015, on February 4, 2015, the stockholders of the Company approved the Amendment to effect a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-10, at any time prior to February 4, 2016, with the Board of Directors having the discretion as to whether or not the reverse stock split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any reverse stock split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by the Board in its discretion
On June 29, 2015, the Board authorized a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10, which took effect on July 29, 2015. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive the next higher number of whole shares.
The par value and other terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split.
