Item 3.03Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

On February 13, 2024, MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), effective as of 4:05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 14, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). The Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from 62,749,125 shares to approximately 2,091,638 million shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares held by the Company as treasury shares, by a ratio of 1-for-30. Accordingly, each holder of Common Stock will own fewer shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in an adjustment to a stockholder’s ownership of Common Stock due to the treatment of fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). Common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and nonassessable, without any change in the par value per share.

 

Simultaneously with the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company shall have authority to issue will be reduced by a factor of 30 from 500 million (500,000,000) shares to sixteen million six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six (16,666,666) shares.

 

A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

No fractional shares are being issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of outstanding shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.

 

The Common Stock will begin trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 15, 2024. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “MYMD.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 62856X201.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Warrants and Preferred Stock

 

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 warrants granted by the Company and the per share conversion price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock issued by the Company.

 

 

 

 

In addition, the Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) and the warrants issued concurrently with the Series F Preferred Stock (the “February 2023 Warrants”) contain provisions that require the reduction of the conversion price and exercise price of the Series F Preferred Stock and the February 2023 Warrants, respectively, as then in effect, on the sixteenth (16th) trading day immediately following a reverse stock split if the “Event Market Price” is less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. The term “Event Market Price” is used in the Certificate of Designations and the February 2023 Warrant to refer to, with respect to a reverse stock split, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP (as defined in the Certificate of Designations and the February 2023 Warrant, respectively) of the Common Stock for each of the five (5) lowest trading days during the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixteenth (16th) trading day after such reverse stock split, divided by (y) five (5). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the February 2023 Warrants will be increased in proportion to any such reduction, such that the aggregate exercise price of the February 2023 Warrants will remain the same following the reduction.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Equity Awards and Plans

 

Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”).

 

The terms of equity awards granted under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2021 Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), including (i) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of awards; (ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the option price of each outstanding stock option and (iv) the amount, if any, paid for forfeited shares in accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be proportionally adjusted to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to an award granted under the Plans shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock in order to comply with the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that the exercise price of any award shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. In addition, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be the subject of future grants under the Plans, as well as any plan limits on the size of such grants will be adjusted and proportionately decreased as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Exchange of Share Certificates

 

At the Effective Time, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Company’s transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, will mail a letter of transmittal to the Company’s stockholders containing instructions on how a stockholder should surrender its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock to the Company’s transfer agent in exchange for certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock. No certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the Company’s transfer agent. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock for certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock registered in the same name.

 

Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares of Common Stock electronically in “book-entry” form will have their holdings electronically adjusted by the Company’s transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. If any certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock to be exchanged contain a restrictive legend or notation, as applicable, the certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will contain the same restrictive legend or notation.

 

Any stockholder whose share certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed will only be issued post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock after complying with the requirements that the Company and the Company’s transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates.

 

 

 

 

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNTIL THEY ARE REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Exhibit 3.1

 

New Jersey Division of Revenue

 

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
to the
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
(For Use by Domestic Profit Corporation)

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 14A:9-2(2), 14A:9-4(2), and 14A:7-15.1(3), Corporations, General, of the New Jersey Statutes, the undersigned corporation executes the following Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated February 5, 2024:

 

1.The name of the Corporation is: MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

2.The following amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was approved by the directors of the Corporation on January 22, 2024:

 

Resolved that each thirty (30) issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, without par value, shall be combined into one (1) share of the Corporation’s Common Stock, without par value, and that Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended by deleting Article IV in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

 

“The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is sixty-six million six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six (66,666,666) shares, of which sixteen million six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six (16,666,666) shares shall be common stock, without par value (“Common Stock”), and 50 million (50,000,000) shares shall be preferred stock, without par value (“Preferred Stock”). Of the 50 million shares of Preferred Stock authorized by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation previously approved and designated 1,990,000 shares as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 1,990,000 shares remain designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, 211,353 shares as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 211,353 shares remain designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 100,000 shares as Series E Junior Participating Preferred Stock, of which 100,000 shares remain designated as Series E Junior Participating Preferred Stock, and 15,000 shares as Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 15,000 shares remain designated as Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, which will remain in full force and effect after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such previously designated Preferred Stock are set forth in Annex A, B, and C respectively, hereto, and in that certain Certificate of Designations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey on March 16, 2023, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Simultaneously with the effective time stated in this amendment (the “Effective Time”) and without regard to any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation, each share of the Corporation’s Common Stock either issued or outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”), will be automatically reclassified as (without any further act) into a smaller number of shares such that each thirty (30) shares of Old Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time is combined into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”), without increasing or decreasing the amount of stated capital or paid-in surplus of the Corporation (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Board of Directors shall make provision for the issuance of that number of fractions of New Common Stock such that any fractional share of a holder otherwise resulting from the Reverse Stock Split shall be rounded up to the next whole number of shares of New Common Stock. Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of the Old Common Stock will, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the number of shares of the New Common Stock into which such shares of Old Common Stock shall have been reclassified plus the fraction, if any, of a share of New Common Stock issued as aforesaid.”

 

3.This amendment provides for the combination of the Corporation’s shares of common stock, as set forth under Item 2 above.

 

4.This amendment will not adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of outstanding shares of any class or series and will not result in the percentage of authorized shares that remains unissued after the share combination exceeding the percentage of authorized shares that was unissued before the share combination.

 

5.This amendment shall be effective on February 14, 2024, at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Exhibit 99.1

 

MyMD Pharmaceuticals Announces Reverse Stock Split to Maintain Nasdaq Listing

 

Common Stock Will Begin Trading on Split-Adjusted Basis on February 15, 2024

 

BALTIMORE, MD – February 13, 2024 – MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.® (Nasdaq: MYMD) (“MyMD” or “the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel therapies for age-related diseases, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, announced today that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 30 pre-split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, February 14, 2024. MyMD’s common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MYMD and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The new CUSIP number for MyMD’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 62856X201.

 

At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 30 shares of MyMD’s issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Simultaneously therewith, the number of shares of common stock that the Company shall have authority to issue will be reduced by a factor of 30 from 500,000,000 shares to 16,666,666 shares. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-30 reverse stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of the Company’s common stock in certificated form to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although stockholders may do so if they wish.

 

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of MyMD’s common stock outstanding from 62,749,125 shares to approximately 2,091,638 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of MyMD’s common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of MyMD’s equity awards, convertible preferred stock and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price. Stockholders with shares in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker; all other stockholders may direct questions to the Company’s transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, via email at issuerservices@stctransfer.com or phone at (469) 633-0101.
