AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR
BYLAWS; CHANGE IN
FISCAL YEAR
|
(1) Change of Company Name
On January 10, 2017, China BAK Battery, Inc. (the "Company")
filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effectuate a
merger between the Company and the Companys newly formed, wholly owned
subsidiary, CBAK Merger Sub, Inc. (the Merger Sub). According to the Articles
of Merger, effective January 16, 2017, the Merger Sub merged with and into the
Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the "Merger").
As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the
sole purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company's name. Upon
the effectiveness of the filing of Articles of Merger with the Secretary of
State of Nevada, which is January 16, 2017, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company's
corporate name.
A copy of the Articles of Merger as filed with the Secretary of
State of Nevada is attached as Exhibit 2.1.
The trading symbol of the Company's common stock will remain as
"CBAK". The Companys common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market
under the Company's new name when the market opened on January 17, 2017.
(2) Change of Company Fiscal Year End
On January 16, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved a change in the Companys fiscal year end from September 30 to December
31. Accordingly, the Companys next Annual Report on Form 10-K will be for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. With this fiscal year end change, the
Company will file a transition report on Form 10-Q for the period from October
1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
