Item 5.03 |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On May 13, 2024, Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), every 30 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, including shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares, will be automatically combined into one share of Common Stock. As of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment on May 13, 2024, the Company had 2,636,886 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Company’s stockholders of record will receive a cash payment of $3.105 per share in lieu of any fractional shares they would have otherwise been entitled to receive in the Reverse Stock Split.
The Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. The Common Stock will continue trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ADN” with a new CUSIP number (00788A204). The Company’s publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ADNWW” and the CUSIP number for the public warrants will remain unchanged. However, under the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant were proportionately decreased. Specifically, following effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every 30 shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of public warrants will represent one share of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. Additionally, the exercise price of such warrants shall be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split by multiplying the warrant price immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately following the Reverse Stock Split.
As of the Effective Time, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and issuable pursuant to equity awards immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were proportionately adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split. Additionally, at the Effective Time, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), acting as Administrator of the Plan, shall make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares of stock specified in Section 4(a) therein that may be delivered under the Plan, and will make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities underlying equity awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise or purchase prices (or base values) relating to equity awards and any other provision of the equity awards affected by such change. In accordance with such provision, at the Effective Time, equitable adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options under the Plan and proportionately adjust the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance and the aggregate number of shares that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options based on the 1-for-30 reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all record holders of the Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any record holder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. Holders of Common Stock who hold in “street name” in their brokerage accounts do not have to take any action as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Their accounts will be automatically adjusted to reflect the number of shares owned.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1
Certificate
of Amendment
of
the
Second
Amended and Restated
Certificate
of Incorporation
of
Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc.
Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify as follows:
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. The original Certificate
of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware
on June 18, 2018; an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was
filed on November 15, 2018; a Certificate of Amendment to such Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation was filed on May 19, 2020; and a further Certificate of Amendment to such Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed on October 16, 2020. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
was filed on February 4, 2021 (together with this amendment, the “Current Certificate”), as amended by that certain Certificate of Amendment to such Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Amendment filed on June 20, 2023.
SECOND: Pursuant to
Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly
adopted, and the stockholders of the Corporation have approved the amendments to the Current Certificate set forth in this
Certificate of Amendment
THIRD: Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law, Article IV is hereby amended by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“(a) Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue is 501,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the DGCL, of this Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each 30 shares of Common Stock and either issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury
stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any
action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into
one share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Holders of Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares
of Common Stock because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse
Stock Split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive, in cash, the value of any fractional share interest in Common Stock arising from
the Reverse Stock Split equal to the fraction to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales
price of the Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market as of the Effective
Time.”
FOURTH: This Certificate of Amendment shall be effective upon filing with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware.
[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank; Signature Page to Follow]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be
executed by its Chief Executive Officer this 13th day of May, 2024.
