Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the
Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On January 25, 2023, Reed's, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Reed's" or the
"company") announced that its board of directors approved a 1-for-50 reverse
stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the company's issued and outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Reverse Stock Split
will become effective on Nasdaq at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on January 27, 2023
(the "Effective Time"), and the company's common stock will open for trading on
the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis under the company's existing
trading symbol "REED". At the Effective Time, the company's common stock will
also commence trading under a new CUSIP number, 758338305.
At the Effective Time, every 50 shares of the company's issued and outstanding
common stock will automatically convert into one share of common stock without
any change to the par value of $0.0001 per share. The amount of common stock
outstanding will be reduced from approximately 126 million shares to
approximately 2.5 million shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Reed's outstanding
stock options and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price.
At a special meeting of shareholders held on January 24, 2023, the company's
shareholders granted the company's board of directors the discretion to effect a
reverse stock split of the common stock through an amendment (the "Amendment")
to the company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, at a ratio of any
ratio not less than 1-for-6 and not more than 1-for-50, at any time on or prior
to January 24, 2024, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within
this range by the board of directors in its sole discretion.
Registered shareholders holding pre-split shares of the company's common stock
are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Shareholders
owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their
positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to
such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action
in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Any fractional shares created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be
rounded up to the nearest whole share for each stockholder. The Reverse Stock
Split impacts all holders of Reed's common stock proportionally and will not
impact any shareholders' percentage ownership of common stock (except as to
rounding up changes).
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment,
which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated by reference herein.
