Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
ContraFect Corporation (the Company) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on January 31, 2020 (the Special Meeting), at
which the Companys stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 and to decrease the number of authorized shares of the Companys common stock to 125,000,000 shares (the Reverse Stock Split).
At approximately 5:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 3, 2020 (the Effective Time), the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate of Amendment) to effect the Reverse Stock Split with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment also decreased the number of
authorized shares of the Companys common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 125,000,000 shares, but did not change the par value of the Companys common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at the Effective Time, at which time
every ten (10) shares of the Companys issued common stock automatically combined into one issued share of the Companys common stock.
The
foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

connection with this proposal.
2. The Companys stockholders voted to approve an adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit
additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1 by a vote of 112,474,698 shares of common stock for, 11,038,200 shares of common stock against and 2,511,340 shares of common stock
