This Form 8-K and other reports filed by GeoVax Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to the Company’s industry, operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
On April 30, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of GeoVax Labs, Inc. effecting a 1-for-500 reverse stock split pursuant to which each five hundred (500) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the filing automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, was combined and reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. For details, please refer to Item 5.03 below.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
One-for-Five Hundred Reverse Stock Split is Effected April 30, 2019
On April 30, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of GeoVax Labs, Inc. effecting a 1-for-500 reverse stock split pursuant to which each five hundred (500) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Old Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the filing automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, was combined and reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “New Common Stock”) (and such combination and conversion, the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue one full share of New Common Stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of New Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the filing, represented shares of Old Common Stock, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, now represents that number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate have been reclassified (including any full shares of New Commons Stock issued with respect to fractional shares of Old Common Stock as set forth above).
Each holder of record of a certificate that represented shares of Old Common Stock shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate representing the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified. The Company’s transfer agent will be sending letters of transmittal for stockholders of record to use in obtaining new share certificates.
The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company has the authority to issue remains at 610,000,000 shares, which are divided into two classes consisting of: (a) 600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (b) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
A copy of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
