Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

 

On January 25, 2021, Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”) announced that it filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of Delaware, to effect a 1-for-3 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. Beginning with the opening of trading on January 26, 2021, the Company’s Common Stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 30162V409 and will continue to trade under the symbol “XELA.”

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, every three (3) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding will be converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock will instead receive cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market on January 25, 2021.

 

The Reverse Split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), or change the par values of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of the Company's shares of Common Stock (except to the extent that the Reverse Split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares). All outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock units and similar securities entitling their holders to receive or purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including the conversion rate of the Preferred Stock) will be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split, as required by the terms of each security.

 

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As a result of the Reverse Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be adjusted from 147.7 million shares to approximately 49.2 million shares.

 

On January 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Split. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
