Item 5.03 Amendment to articles of incorporation or bylaws; Change in fiscal year
On April 26, 2013, Colorado Goldfields Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed a Certificate of Change under Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), with regard to a reverse split of its issued and outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A Stock”), and the proportional decrease of its authorized shares of Class A Stock at a ratio of 1 share for each 500 shares (the “Reverse Split”), pursuant to NRS Section 78.207. The Certificate of Change, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 specified an effective date of May 13, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). On May 7, 2013 the Company received clearance for the change from the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) effective as of that date. FINRA will announce the change on May 10, 2013.
As a result of the reverse stock split a “D” will be appended to the Company’s stock symbol at the opening of business on May 13, 2013. The Company’s trading symbol will be “CGFID,” until June 3, 2013 at which time it will revert to “CGFI.”
As a result of this corporate action, the present total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock (if there are no further issuances of Class A Stock before the Effective Date) will be decreased from approximately 297,382,071 shares to approximately 594,764 (the foregoing number divided by 500), which will increase by a very minor number due to rounding of fractional shares up to the a whole share, as permitted under NRS Section 78.205, and the Company’s authorized shares of Class A Stock will be decreased concurrently from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000 shares.
However, the Company will return its authorized shares to 1 billion Class A shares upon filing Form 14C on May 14, 2013.
The Reverse Split will be consummated through a demand exchange, under which physical stock certificates for the appropriate post-Reverse Split number of shares of Class A Stock will be issued upon the surrender of the pre-Reverse Split stock certificates. Appropriate arrangements will be made for shares of Class A Stock held in book-entry form through a nominee and for shares as to which the physical stock certificates are held by the respective beneficial holders. The exchange will be administered by the Company’s transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., and notices will be sent to holders of record on the record date, which will be the day before the Effective Date.
There has been no change to the par value of the Class A Stock and no changes have been made to the Company’s Class B common stock as a result of this corporate action. The Reverse Split was authorized under NRS Section 78.207 through duly adopted resolutions of the Company’s board of directors. No approval by the holders of the Class A Stock is required under this statutory provision for a reverse stock split of this nature, which includes a reduction in the total number of shares of Class A Stock authorized in the same proportion as the reduction of the number of Class A shares issued and outstanding.
