Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information contained in Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

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

 

On November 7, 2024, Lipella Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”), acting pursuant to authority received at an annual meeting of its stockholders on September 10, 2024, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), which effected a one-for-eight reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 7, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight (8) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock. The Common Stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on November 8, 2024.

 

The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set forth pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any holder that would receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be paid in cash the fair value of such fractional share as of the date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split also has a proportionate effect on all other options and warrants of the Company outstanding as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock is 53630L 209.

 

The Company’s transfer agent, Nevada Agency and Transfer Company, is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and has provided instructions to stockholders of record regarding the exchange of certificates for Common Stock.

 

The summary of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1(i).
