Calculation of Filing Fee

TRANSACTION VALUATION* AMOUNT OF FILING FEE**
$10,000 $2

 

* Calculated solely for the purposes of determining the filing fee. The transaction valuation assumes the payment for 379,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $.025 per share in cash (or the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB on May 29, 2019), in lieu of issuing fractional shares to holders of less than 1,000 shares of common stock. Actual amounts paid for fractional shares will equal the Cash-Out-Payment (as defined herein).

 

** The filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001212.

 

[X] Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Exchange Act Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended, the “Schedule 13E-3”), is being filed by Capstone Therapeutics Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a proposed going private transaction. The Schedule 13E-3 was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2019 and was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 3, 2019. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 solely to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction.

 

At the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 22, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Common Stock”), resulting in (i) holdings prior to such split of fewer than 1,000 shares of Common Stock being converted into a fractional share, which were immediately cancelled and converted into a right to receive the “Cash-Out-Payment” as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 10, 2019, and (ii) the Company having fewer than 300 stockholders of record, thereby allowing the Company to deregister its Common Stock under the Exchange Act and avoid the costs associated with being a public reporting company.

 

On August 22, 2019, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to effect the reverse stock split.  

 

The Company, upon completion of the reverse stock split and verification that the Company has fewer than 300 stockholders of record, intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to deregister the Common Stock under the Exchange Act. Upon filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be immediately suspended. The Company expects that the deregistration will become effective 90 days after the date of filing of the Form 15.
