Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On March 26, 2025, Aclarion, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty seven (27).
The Certificate of Amendment provides that the reverse stock split became effective as of 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on March 27, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), at which time every twenty seven (27) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Certificate of Amendment provides that in the event a stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of common stock, such stockholder shall receive one whole share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share and no fractional shares shall be issued. The Company did not round up fractional shares at the beneficial level and instead rounded any such fractional shares up at the participant level with DTC.
Trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis commenced at market open on March 28, 2025. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split is 655187409.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock were decreased from approximately 15.72 million pre-split shares to approximately 582,000 post-split shares. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock, which remains at 200 million shares.
The reverse stock split will apply to the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of common stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable will be adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. The exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options will also be adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans.
As previously announced, in September 2025, the Company’s board and stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-fifty, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s board in its discretion without further approval from the Company’s stockholders. In March 2025, the Company’s board subsequently approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-twenty seven.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
