Item 3.03 - Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

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

 

The Board of Directors of GBT Technologies Inc. (f/k/a Gopher Protocol Inc.) (the “Company”) approved, on July 10, 2019, a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which every 100 shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be reverse split, reconstituted and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

To effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, the Company filed on July 10, 2019 a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, with a specified effective filing date of August 5, 2019, as corrected, subject to FINRA approval.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will not alter any existing shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of the Company’s existing shareholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company will issue to any shareholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split an additional full share of its common stock. Under Nevada law, because the Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with NRS Sections 78.207 and 78.209, no stockholder approval was required.  

 

In addition, also effective August 5, 2019, as corrected, the Company changed its name to “GBT Technologies Inc.” The name change will be made pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 92A by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into the Company. The Company will be the surviving corporation and, in connection with the merger, the Company will amend Article One of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to change its corporate name. To effectuate the merger, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on July 10, 2019, with an effective date of August 5, 2019, as corrected, subject to FINRA approval, which will include changing the Company’s symbol.

 

In connection with the above, the Company filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Reverse Stock Split will be implemented by FINRA on August 5, 2019. The Company’s symbol on the OTC Pink will be GOPHD for 20 business days from August 5, 2019 (the “Notification Period”). As a result of the above transactions, the Company’s symbol will be changed to "GTCH" following the Notification Period and the CUSIP is now 361548100.
