Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

As previously disclosed, at a special meeting of shareholders of Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), held on October 22, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the reincorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger attached as Exhibit A to the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 15, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Company effected the Reincorporation pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger on November 6, 2020 by filing Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and the Department of State of the State of Florida.

 

As a result of the Reincorporation, the rights of the Company’s shareholders previously governed by the Florida Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws in effect prior to the Reincorporation, are now governed by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws filed and adopted by the Company under Nevada law, as described in the Proxy Statement.

 

The Reincorporation resulted in a change in the state of the Company’s incorporation from Florida to Nevada but did not result in any change in the name, business, directors, officers, fiscal year, accounting, location of the principal executive offices, assets or liabilities of the Company.

 

Additional information regarding the effects of the Reincorporation, including differences between the corporate laws of Florida and Nevada, was included in the Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

2.5.

STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND PROPOSALS.

 

For business (including, but not limited to, director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder or stockholders of record intending to propose the business (the “proposing stockholder”) must have given written notice of the proposing stockholder’s nomination or proposal, either by personal delivery or by United States mail to the Secretary no earlier than the 120th calendar day, nor later than the 90th calendar day, prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. If the current year’s meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice must be received no later than ten calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In no event will an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders begin a new time period for giving a proposing stockholder’s notice as provided above.

 

For business to be properly brought before a special meeting of stockholders, the notice of the meeting sent by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting must set forth the nature of the business to be considered. A person or persons who have made a written request for a special meeting pursuant to this Article II may provide the information required for notice of a stockholder proposal under this section simultaneously with the written request for the meeting submitted to the Secretary or within ten calendar days after delivery of the written request for the meeting to the Secretary.

 

A proposing stockholder’s notice shall include as to each matter the proposing stockholder proposes to bring before either an annual or special meeting:

 

 

(a)

the name and record address of the proposing stockholder;

     
 

(b)

the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held by the proposing stockholder;

     
 

(c)

a representation that the proposing stockholder is a holder of record of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to introduce the business specified in the notice;

     
 

(d)

a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting;

     
 

(e)

if the notice regards a nomination of a candidate for election as director: (i) the name, age, and business and residence address of the candidate; (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the candidate; and (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned by the candidate.

     
 

(g)

if the notice regards a proposal other than a nomination of a candidate for election as director, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the material interest of the proposing stockholder in such proposal; and

     
 

(h)

any other information that is required to be provided by the proposing stockholder pursuant to regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholder’s meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with the requirements of, the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

 

 

 

2.6.

FIXING THE RECORD DATE.

 

For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the record date shall be the date specified by the Board in the notice of the meeting, and . If no date is specified, the record date shall be the close of business on the day before the day the first notice of the meeting is given or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day before the day the meeting is held.

 

A record date fixed under this Section may not be more than 60, or less than 10, days before the meeting of stockholders. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders is effective for any adjournment or postponement of the meeting unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned or postponed meeting. The Board must fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned or postponed more than 60 days after the original meeting of stockholders.

 

2.7.

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING.

 

Written notice stating the place, date, and time of the meeting, the means of any electronic communication by which stockholders may participate in the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than 10, and not more than 60, days before the date of the meeting.

 

Notice to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting shall be given personally, by mail, or by electronic transmission if consented to by a stockholder, by or at the direction of the Secretary or the officer or person calling the meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the share transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

 

Any stockholder entitled to notice of a meeting may sign a written waiver of notice delivered to the Corporation either before or after the meeting. A stockholder’s participation or attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice, except where the stockholder attends for the specific purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

2.8.

LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE.

 

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

 

In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

 

2.9.

QUORUM OF STOCKHOLDERS.

 

At each meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business, a quorum must be present to organize such meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders representing one-third of the voting power constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the Nevada Corporations Act. If any class or series of shares is permitted or required to vote separately on any action, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders representing one-third of the voting power of such class or series constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

 

 

 

The holders of a majority of the voting power represented in person or by proxy at a meeting, even if less than a quorum, may adjourn or postpone the meeting from time to time.

 

2.10.

CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.

 

The Board, as it shall deem appropriate, may adopt by resolution rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the stockholders. At every meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or, if the Chief Executive Officer is absent, any officer elected by the Board, shall serve as chair of the meeting. The Secretary or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

 

The chair of the meeting shall determine the order of business and, in the absence of a rule adopted by the Board, shall establish rules for the conduct of the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall announce the close of the polls for each matter voted upon at the meeting, after which no ballots, proxies, votes, changes, or revocations will be accepted. Polls for all matters before the meeting will be deemed to be closed upon final adjournment of the meeting.

 

2.11.

VOTING OF STOCK.

 

Each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class or series, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws and to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing the class or series of stock provides for more or less than one vote per share or limits or denies voting rights to the holders of the shares of any class or series of stock.

 

Unless a different proportion is required by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the Nevada Corporations Act, on all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

Stockholders shall not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors of the Corporation.

 

2.12.

VOTING BY PROXY.

 

A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. Any copy, communication by electronic transmission, or other reliable written reproduction may be substituted for the stockholder’s original written proxy for any purpose for which the original proxy could have been used if such copy, communication by electronic transmission, or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original written proxy.

 

No proxy shall be valid after six months from the date of its creation unless the proxy specifies its duration, which may not exceed seven years from the date of its creation. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient to support an irrevocable power.

 

 

 

A properly created proxy or proxies continues in full force and effect until either of the following occurs:

 

 

(a)

One of the following is filed with or transmitted to the Secretary of the Corporation or another person or persons appointed by the Corporation to count the votes of the stockholders and determine the validity of proxies and ballots: (i) another instrument or transmission properly revoking the proxy; or (ii) a properly created proxy or proxies bearing a later date.

 

 

(b)

The stockholder executing the original written proxy revokes the proxy by attending a stockholders’ meeting and voting its shares in person, in which case any votes cast by that stockholder’s previously designated proxy or proxies shall be disregarded by the Corporation when the votes are counted.

 

2.13.

ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.

 

Unless otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

(a)

did not breach, through intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, the Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties as a director or officer to act in good faith and in the interests of the Corporation; or

 

 

(b)

6.3.

INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES.

 

The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Corporations Act, indemnify any Indemnitee who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, or claim described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense.

 

 

 

6.4.

AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.

 

Any indemnification under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, by (i) the board of directors, by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (i) independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, if: (1) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders; or (2) a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained; or (iii) by the stockholders of the Corporation (but only if a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, if they constitute a quorum of the Board, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the stockholders for their determination).

6.6.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS.

LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION.

6.10.

INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.

 

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VI to directors and officers of the Corporation.

 

6.11.

EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR REPEAL.

 

Neither any amendment or repeal of any Section of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VI, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any director or officer, employee or other agent established pursuant to this Article VI existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, including without limitation by eliminating or reducing the effect of this Article VI, for or in respect of any act, omission or other matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise), prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for regarding that person as the owner of those shares at that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a certificate for those shares and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

 

 

7.4.
