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

 

On November 9, 2020, stockholders of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-5 and no more than 1-for-10, with such ratio to be determined by the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, with any fractional shares being rounded up to the next higher whole shares (the “Reverse Split”). On November 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-10 and on November 9, 2020, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Articles implementing the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-10 effective November 30, 2020; provided, however, that in no event will the Reverse Split become effective until it has been processed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company expects that the Reverse Split in a ratio of 1-for-10 will be effective on or about November 30, 2020.
