Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
Reverse Split
As previously announced, on September 22, 2022, the Board of Directors of iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock for every twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding). On October 7, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split on Friday, October 7, 2022. On Monday, October 10, 2022, the Common Stock will begin trading on a post-reverse split basis on the NYSE American under the same symbol “IBIO,” but with a new CUSIP number of 451033609.
Split Adjustment; Treatment of Fractional Shares
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each twenty-five (25) pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding will automatically combine into one (1) new share of Common Stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares common stock will be reduced from 225,164,563 shares to 9,006,583 shares (subject to rounding of fractional shares, which will be paid in cash).
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing their fractional shares, be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE American on the ten (10) trading days preceding the effective date of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest. Holders of as many as twenty-four (24) shares of Common Stock would be eliminated as a result of the cash payment in lieu of any issuance of fractional shares or interests in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Trading Symbol; New CUSIP
After the Reverse Stock Split, the trading symbol for the Common Stock will continue to be “IBIO.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 451033609.
Certificate of Amendment
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 7, 2022 (effective as of October 7, 2022).

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
IBIO, INC.
(a Delaware corporation)
The undersigned, Thomas F. Isett, hereby certifies that:
1. | He is the Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of iBio, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Delaware corporation, and is duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to execute this instrument. |
2. | The present name of the Corporation is “iBio, Inc.” The Corporation filed its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 17, 2008 under the name of “iBioPharma, Inc.,” filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 25, 2008, merging the Corporation with InB Biotechnologies, Inc., with iBioPharma, Inc. as the surviving corporation, and filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 10, 2009, changing the name of the Corporation from “iBioPharma, Inc.” to “iBio, Inc.” |
3. | This Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation was duly approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and duly adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation at a meeting in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. |
4. | Article IV is hereby amended to add the following paragraph immediately after the first paragraph of Article IV: |
“Effective at 11:01 p.m. Eastern time, on the date of the filing of this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified as and combined into a smaller number of shares such that each twenty five (25) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time are combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification and combination following the Effective Time (after taking into account all fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest multiplied by the average closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE American for the ten trading days preceding the Effective Time.
Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified and combined (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time), provided however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been combined.”
5. | This Certificate of Amendment shall become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer this 5th day of October, 2022.
