This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and the attached exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall be incorporated by reference into the Company's effective Registration Statements on Form F-3, as amended and supplemented (Registration Statement Nos. 333-172796 and 333-218297), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from the date on which this Report is filed, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished by Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As previously reported by Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (the “ Company ” ) in its report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2018, at the special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on August 15, 2018, the Company’s shareholders granted the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) discretionary authority to implement a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of a consolidation ratio within a range from five (5) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share to 15 pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common shares of the Company, or the “reverse split”.

The Board has selected a share consolidation ratio of ten (10) pre-consolidation shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share. On September 12, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s articles (“Articles of Amendment”) which implemented the one-for-10 reverse split. The Company anticipates that its common shares will begin trading on each of The NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock exchange (“TSX”) on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trade symbol “IPCI” at the market open on September 14, 2018. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common shares will be 458173309, and the new ISIN will be CA4581733090. A copy of the Articles of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

On September 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the one-for-10 reverse split. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
