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

An amendment to the articles of incorporation of Porter Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) to implement a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares and Non-Voting Common Shares (“Reverse Stock Split”) took effect at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on Friday, December 16, 2016.  At that time:

·
Each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time was automatically changed into one-fifth of a Common Share ("Post-Split Common Share");
·
Each Non-Voting Common Share issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time was automatically changed into one-fifth of a Non-Voting Common Share ("Post-Split Non-Voting Common Share"); and
·
Any fractional share resulting from those changes was rounded up to one whole Post-Split Common Share, or one whole Post-Split Non-Voting Common Share, as applicable.

The following table shows the number of the Company’s Common Shares and Non-Voting Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately before and after the Reverse Stock Split.

   
Issued and Outstanding
Before Reverse Stock Split
 
Issued and Outstanding
After Reverse Stock Split
         
Common Shares
 
23,156,969
 
4,632,933
Non-Voting Common Shares
 
7,958,000
 
1,591,600

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the number of Common Shares and Non-Voting Common Shares the Company is authorized to issue.  The Company is currently authorized to issue 28,000,000 Common Shares and 10,000,000 Non-Voting Common Shares.  Shareholders have previously authorized our Board of Directors to increase the number of Common Shares and Non-Voting Common Shares the Company is authorized to issue without further shareholder approval to up to 86,000,000 Common Shares and 34,380,437 Non-Voting Common Shares.
