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

On December 22, 2020 Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, which were effective on January 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), which effected a three hundred eight for one (308:1) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. Previously, on December 4, 2020 the Company filed a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC notifying its stockholders that on December 2, 2020, the holders of a majority of it outstanding shares of common stock and the shares Series A Convertible Preferred Stock who were entitled to consent to the action, voting as a single class, executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders approving a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock of not less than 300:1 and not more than 310:1, with the Company’s board of directors having the discretion as to when such reverse stock split would be effected (on or prior to December 2, 2021) and the exact ratio of the reverse stock split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion. On December 17, 2020, in accordance with such authority, the board of directors fixed the exact ratio of the reverse stock split.

As a result of the reverse stock split, on the Effective Date each 308 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date became one share of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date. In accordance with the terms of all such instruments, the conversion ratio of the Company’s outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and its various convertible promissory notes, together with the exercise price of its outstanding warrants, were proportionally adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued to any stockholder in connection with the reverse stock split and all fractional shares which might otherwise be issuable as a result of the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Each certificate representing one (1) share of pre-reverse stock split common stock will be deemed to represent one-three hundred and eighth (308^th) of a share of post-reverse stock split common stock, subject to rounding for fractional shares. The records of the Company’s transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., will be adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. Following the Effective Date, the share certificates representing the pre-reverse stock split common stock will continue to be valid for the appropriate number of shares of post-reverse stock split common stock, adjusted for rounding. Certificates representing shares of the post-reverse stock split and reflecting the new CUSIP number will be issued in due course as certificates for pre-reverse stock split common shares are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent.

On the Effective Date the CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock changed to 39809D201. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol “GMVP.” The market effective date of the reverse stock split will be January 12, 2021. Beginning on the market effective date, the Company’s common stock will be quoted on a post-split basis under the symbol “GMVPD” for 20 business days, after which time the symbol will revert back to GMVP.

A copy of the Articles of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.1.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
