Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective on February 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of Monaker Group, Inc. (the “ Company ”, “ we ” or “ us ”), approved a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “ Reverse Split ”).
The Company’s majority stockholders, effective on September 13, 2017, via a written consent to action without a meeting, provided the Board of Directors authority to affect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock in a ratio of between one-for-one and one-for-four, in their sole discretion, without further stockholder approval, by amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, at any time prior to the earlier of (a) September 13, 2018; and (b) the date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “ Stockholder Authority ”). The Reverse Split was affected and approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholder Authority.
Effective on February 8, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect the 1-for-2.5 Reverse Split of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, anticipated to be effective on Monday, February 12, 2018. The Certificate of Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 .
The effect of the Reverse Split will be to combine each 2.5 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and to reduce the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 20.3 million pre-split shares to approximately 8.1 million post-split shares (prior to rounding). Proportional adjustments will be made to the exercise prices of, and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of, the Company’s outstanding warrants, and to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan. The Reverse Split will not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s common stock, except to the limited extent that the reverse stock split would result in any shareholder owning a fractional share. Fractional shares of common stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Company’s trading symbol of “ MKGI ” will not change as a result of the Reverse Split, although it is expected that the letter “ D ” will be appended to the Company’s ticker for approximately 20 trading days following the effective date to indicate the completion of the Reverse Split. In addition, the common stock will trade under a new CUSIP number, 609011200.
Item 8.01

Section 1. Capital Stock is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following (which shall have no effect on any previously designated series of preferred stock):
“Section 1. Capital Stock
The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation will have authority to issue is Six Hundred Million (600,000,000) of which Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares will be common stock, with a par value of $0.00001 per share, and One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares will be preferred stock, with a par value of $0.00001 per share.
The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and this Article, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock including but not limited to the following:
a.
The rate of dividend, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative, and the date from which any dividends shall accrue;
b.
Whether shares may be redeemed, and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
c.
The amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation;
d.
Sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares;
e.
The terms and conditions on which shares may be converted, if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;
f.
Voting powers, if any, provided that if any of the Preferred Stock or series thereof shall have voting rights, such Preferred Stock or series shall vote only on a share for share basis with the Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to the election of directors, for which such Preferred Stock or series has such rights; and,
g.
Subject to the foregoing, such other terms, qualifications, privileges, limitations, options, restrictions, and special or relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares or such series as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at the time so acting, lawfully fix and determine under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (unless payable solely in shares of Common Stock or other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation) in respect of Common Stock, or other class of stock junior the Preferred Stock, nor shall it redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any of the foregoing, unless dividends, if any, payable to holders of Preferred Stock for the current period (and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, payable to holder of Preferred Stock for the current period and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, for all past periods) have been paid, are being paid or have been set aside for payments, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, as fixed by the Board of Directors.
In the event of the liquidation of the Corporation, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to received, before any payment or distribution on the Common Stock or any other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, a distribution per share in the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, fixed or determined in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock plus, if so provided in such terms, an amount per share equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends in respect of such Preferred Stock (whether or not earned or declared) to the date of such distribution. Neither the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor any consolidation or merger of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation for the purposes of this Article.
Reverse Stock Split of Outstanding Common Stock
Effective as of the effective date set forth under “ Effective date and time of filing ” on this Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation (or in the absence of such date, on the date such Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada)(the “ Effective Time ”), every Two and a half (2.5) shares of the Corporation’s common stock (but not any shares of Preferred Stock), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, or held in treasury prior to the Effective Time (collectively the “ Old Capital Stock ”), shall be automatically reclassified and combined into One (1) share of common stock (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Capital Stock will, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the number of shares as equals the quotient obtained by dividing the number of shares of Old Capital Stock represented by such certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time by Two and a half (2.5) , subject to any adjustments for fractional shares as set forth below; provided, however, that each person holding of record a stock certificate or certificates that represented shares of Old Capital Stock shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate or certificates, a new certificate or certificates evidencing and representing the number of shares of capital stock to which such person is entitled under the foregoing reclassification. No fractional shares of capital stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of any fractional share of capital stock to which a stockholder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall issue that number of shares of capital stock as rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split shall have no effect on the number of authorized shares of capital stock or the par value thereof as set forth above in Section 1.”
Exhibit 99.1
Monaker Prepares for NASDAQ Uplisting; Approves Stock Split
WESTON, FL – February 12, 2018 – Monaker Group (OTCQB: MKGI), a travel and technology company focused on the alternative lodging rental (ALR) market, announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split is anticipated to be effective prior to the stock market opening on February 12, 2018. With the successful implementation of the reverse stock split and provided that the Company's common stock meets the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement, the Company believes it will meet the final requirement for listing Monaker's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market within the coming weeks.
"We have elected to affect a reverse stock split to allow Monaker to meet the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market," stated Bill Kerby, CEO of Monaker. "We believe that listing on NASDAQ should help broaden our shareholder base, increase appeal to institutional investors, provide shareholders with better liquidity and, as a result, could ultimately contribute to increasing shareholder value." The Board made the decision that the Company should take steps necessary to uplist the company’s common stock on NASDAQ as we deploy the travel industry’s first B2B reservation system supporting instantaneous booking for over a million alternative lodging rentals with several large established lodging distribution partners."
Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in Monaker Group and the proportional voting power will remain unchanged after the reverse stock split, except for minimal changes due to rounding. In addition, the rights and privileges of the holders of Monaker’s common stock are unaffected by the reverse stock split. This reverse stock split is anticipated to become effective prior to market open on February 12, 2018 and the Company's common stock will begin trading on a post-split basis under the symbol "MKGID" at the open of trading on Monday, February 12, 2018.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every 2.5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be exchanged for one share of common stock, with all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of issued and outstanding common stock from approximately 20.3 million pre-split shares to approximately 8.1 million post-split shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to Monaker's outstanding warrants.
The Company's ticker symbol will remain unchanged, although a "D" will be placed at the end of the MKGI ticker symbol (MKGID) for 20 business days following the stock split. The Company's common stock will also be identified under a new CUSIP number (609011200). Before any listing of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market can occur, NASDAQ will need to finalize the Company's application for listing. There can be no assurance that the Company's application for listing will be approved.
