Charter Amendment for Reverse Stock Split
On November 17, 2020, Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-1,000 Reverse Stock Split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and approved by a majority vote of stockholders.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every one thousand (1,000) shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one (1) share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stock holders will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of common stock will receive one additional share for each fractional share.
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 1,500,005 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. The Company’s board of directors shall have the authority to authorize the issuance of 1,500,005 shares of preferred stock with such rights, preferences and limitations as may be set from time to time by resolution of the board of directors and the filing of a Certificate of Designation as required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to allow the Company to maintain legal compliance with outstanding debt and convertible note instruments (including the obligation to maintain adequate share reserves). In addition, the Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock so as to qualify for an uplist to the OTC Markets Group QB Open Market exchange. The Company’s common stock will trade on The OTC Markets Group Pink Open Market exchange on a post-reverse split basis at the open of business on November 19, 2020 (the “Market Effective Date”). The Company’s post-reverse split common stock has a new CUSIP number (CUSIP No. 74346N404), but the par value and other terms of the common stock are not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The common stock will trade under the ticker symbol “PPCBD” for the 20 business days following the Market Effective Date.
As of November 18, 2020, there were 688,670,618 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, there will be 688,671 shares of common stock outstanding. All holders of the Company’s options and warrants to purchase the Company’s commons stock will be adjusted in accordance with their terms, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
The Company’s transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer Corporation, is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
