Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 18, 2019, Delcath Systems, Inc (the “Company”) and holders of a majority of the Company’s Series E and Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to those certain registration rights agreements, dated as of July 11, 2019 (effective as of July 15, 2019) and August 15, 2019, in each case as amended on September 30, 2019, between the Company and the holders signatory thereto. The Second Amendment eliminates the deadline to file a pre-effective registration statement amendment within 10 days of the Company’s receipt of comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The foregoing description of certain terms contained in the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to: (i) the copy of the Second Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, (ii) the copy of the form of Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and each other party signatory thereto filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 11, 2019, (iii) the copy of the form of Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and each other party signatory thereto filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2019 and (iv) the copy of the Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreements, dated as of September 30, 2019, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2019.

 

Item 5.03

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

On October 17, 2019, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a ratio of 1-for-100 to be effective as of October 22, 2019 at 8:30 a.m., New York City time (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Charter Amendment did not change the par value or any other terms of the common stock.

On October 22, 2019, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Correction (the “Certificate of Correction”) to the Charter Amendment, rescinding the Charter Amendment, citing an inaccuracy in Article Third of the Charter Amendment, which states an effective time for the Reverse Stock Split of 8:30 a.m. New York City time on October 22, 2019. Such effective time was based upon the Company’s prior receipt, on October 17, 2019, of confirmation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) that it had completed its review of the Reverse Stock Split, including the effective time, whereupon the Company undertook to effect the Reverse Stock Split by filing the Charter Amendment. On the evening of October 21, 2019, subsequent to the Company’s filing of the Charter Amendment and issuance of a press release on October 18, 2019 announcing the confirmation by FINRA, FINRA notified the Company’s counsel that it was rescinding its prior confirmation. The Certificate of Correction further provides that the Company is currently awaiting FINRA confirmation. When such confirmation is obtained, the Company intends to file a Certificate of Amendment effectuating the Reverse Stock Split.


As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 19, 2019, the Reverse Stock Split was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders held on September 17, 2019, with the ratio of the reverse stock split to be fixed at a ratio ranging from 1-for-50 to 1-for-1,200, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. In accordance with the stockholder authorization, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Charter Amendment providing for a 1-for-100 ratio to be effective as soon as reasonably practicable.

The foregoing descriptions of the Charter Amendment and the Certificate of Correction do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment and the Certificate of Correction, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On October 18, 2019, upon receipt of FINRA’s confirmation of the completion of its review of the Company’s Reverse Stock Split, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, that the Reverse Stock Split approved by the Company’s stockholders and Board of Directors would be effected prior to the initiation of trading on October 22, 2019, consistent with FINRA’s forthcoming announcement on the FINRA Daily List on October 21, 2019. This press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.

On October 22, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Reverse Stock Split to be effective on October 22, 2019 previously announced on FINRA’s Daily List on October 21, 2019 will be postponed per a subsequent notification received from FINRA after market close on October 21, 2019 that FINRA had decided to continue its review. This press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
