On April 19, 2019, Appliance Recycling
Centers of America, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Change with the Office of the Secretary of State of
the State of Nevada in order to effectuate a one-for-five (1:5) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and
a contemporaneous one-for-five (1:5) reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), from 50,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares in accordance with the procedures authorized
by the Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.207 and 78.209. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock,
par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), is not affected by the Reverse Stock Split and is remaining at 2,000,000.
The Company’s board of directors approved this corporate action by unanimous written consent on April 16, 2019. The Reverse
Stock Split is expected to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s Common Stock in an effort to regain compliance
with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Reverse Stock Split did not require stockholder approval.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split,
stockholders of record as of April 17, 2019 will receive one share for every five shares of Common Stock then held. The par value
and other terms of the Company’s Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of Common
Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split for any holder will be rounded up to the next whole share. No fractional shares will
be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Except as set forth in the next sentence,
the terms of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) are not affected
by the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be modified from the current ratio of 1:100 to a post-Reverse Stock Split ratio of 1:20, which the Company’s Board of Directors
has determined, in good faith, to be equitable in the current circumstances.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to
be effective as of 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on April 19, 2019. The Company anticipates that the Reverse Stock Split will be effective
for trading purposes at the market opening on April 22, 2019, at which time the Company’s Common Stock will begin trading
on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol
“ARCI.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock post-Reverse Stock Split will be 03814F403. The CUSIP number for
the Series A Preferred Stock is not changing and remains 03814F304. The Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on any exchange
nor quoted in the Over-The-Counter markets. Stockholders are not required to take any action to affect the exchange of their shares
of Common Stock.
A copy of the Certificate of Change is
attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split is attached
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
