The information required by this Item 3.03 is set forth under Item 5.03 below and is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item.

 

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

 

On July 26, 2016, MRI Interventions, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect a 1-for-40 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on July 26, 2016. As previously disclosed, the Reverse Stock Split is intended to permit the Company to meet one of the listing criteria for The Nasdaq Capital Market; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy all of the listing criteria.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from approximately 96.1 million shares to approximately 2.4 million shares, subject to adjustment for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation will not change. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price of, and the number of shares underlying, all outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans will be reduced proportionately.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety to the Certificate of Amendment which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 herewith and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 55347P 209.

 

Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not have to take any action as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts. Stockholders who hold physical certificates will receive a transmittal letter from the Company’s transfer agent explaining how to obtain stock certificates with the new CUSIP number.

TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
MRI INTERVENTIONS, INC.

(Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

 

MRI INTERVENTIONS, INC. , a corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY :

 

FIRST : That the name of the corporation is MRI Interventions, Inc.

 

SECOND : That the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of MRI Interventions, Inc., as amended, is hereby amended by deleting Section A of Article IV thereof and substituting the following in its place:

 

   A.  Authorized Stock . The total number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Two Hundred Twenty Five Million (225,000,000), consisting of Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and Twenty Five Million (25,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Preferred Stock ”). Upon this Certificate of Amendment becoming effective pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ Effective Time ”), the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ Old Common Stock ”) shall be reclassified as and converted into a different number of shares of Common Stock (the “ New Common Stock ”) such that each forty (40) shares of Old Common Stock shall, at the Effective Time, be automatically reclassified as and converted into one share of New Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, certificates representing the Old Common Stock shall represent the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which such Old Common Stock shall have been reclassified pursuant to this Certificate of Amendment. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of such reclassification and combination. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

THIRD : That the foregoing amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

FOURTH : That this Certificate of Amendment shall be effective as of 4:01 p.m. eastern time on July 26, 2016.
