ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 26, 2013, we filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Shareholder approval was not required under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. As part of the merger, our board of directors authorized a change in our name to "Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc." and our Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this name change.
A copy of the Articles of Merger is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 3.1.
In connection with the name change, we have the following new CUSIP number: 76303T100. The effectiveness of the name change is subject to approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). We have submitted our name change to FINRA and requested a new trading symbol.
