Item 5.03. |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On April 28, 2022, the stockholders of BIOLASE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved a proposal at its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) further amending the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a ratio between one-for-two (1:2) and one-for-twenty-five (1:25), without reducing the authorized number of shares of Company common stock. Following the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a final split ratio of one-for-twenty-five (1:25). Following such approval, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split, with an effective time of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 28, 2022.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In lieu of fractional shares, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as exchange agent (“Computershare”), will aggregate all fractional shares and arrange for them to be sold in a timely manner at the then-prevailing prices on the Nasdaq Capital Market. After completing such sale, Computershare will pay to each stockholder of record such stockholder’s pro rata share of the net proceeds derived from the sale of the fractional interest to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled.
The description of the Amendment set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
