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

 

On June 28, 2023, upon receipt of the required stockholder approval, Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Fourth Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective as of 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on June 28, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

Upon receipt of the stockholder approval at the special meeting of stockholders held on June 23, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company was granted the discretion to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock through an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, subject to the consent of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not more than 1-for-50, with such ratio to be determined by the Board. Following such stockholder approval at the conclusion of the Special Meeting, the Board determined a ratio of 1-for-40 for the reverse stock split.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 40 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 20,142,633 shares to approximately 503,566 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation will remain unchanged at 750,000,000 shares.

 

Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 29, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “ALLR.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 016744302.

 

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein
