Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 6, 2019, BioCardia, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 9-for-1 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) (the “Reverse Split”). The Certificate of Amendment was filed on May 6, 2019, the Reverse Split became effective on May 7, 2019, and the Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The OTC Market on the opening of trading on June 6, 2019. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “BCDA”, although the letter “D” will be temporarily appended to the ticker symbol for twenty trading days following the Reverse Split.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every nine (9) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, respectively, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Split will be paid in cash. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 43,631,684 shares to approximately 4,847,964 shares, subject to adjustment for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. After giving effect to the Reverse Split, the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 125,000,000 shares.  In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

The Company’s transfer agent is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Split is 09060U507.

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1.
