Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 21, 2016, Vapor Corp. (the “ Company ”) held a special meeting (the “ Special Meeting ”) of its stockholders. At the Special Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio between 1-for-10,000 and 1-for-20,000, such ratio to be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). The Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-20,000, such Reverse Stock Split to be effective at 5:00 pm EST on June 1, 2016.
On May 27, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Amendment ”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will effect the Reverse Stock Split on June 1, 2016 at 5:00 pm EST.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty thousand (20,000) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 will be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately five billion to approximately 250,000.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-reverse stock split shares of the Company’s common stock not evenly divisible by twenty thousand, will have the number of post-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock to which they are entitled rounded up to the next whole number of shares of the Company’s common stock. No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Preferred Shares ”), the conversion price at which Series A Preferred Shares may be converted into shares of common stock will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under of all of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (including , in the case of the Series A Warrants, an adjustment to the Closing Bid Price formula for any cashless exercises which occur after the Reverse Stock Split but which reference to a pre-Reverse Stock Split Closing Bid Price), and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans will be reduced proportionately.
The above description of the Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
The trading symbol for the common stock will be under “VPCOD.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 922099700.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 1, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
