Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
 
As described under Proposal 5 of Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on December 10, 2024, Reviva Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at which, among other matters of business acted upon, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 115,000,000 to 315,000,000 (the “Certificate of Amendment”).
 
On December 10, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and such amendment became effective immediately. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment 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 as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
 
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
On December 10, 2024, the Company held the Annual Meeting. The stockholders of the Company acted upon the following proposals at the Annual Meeting: (1) the election of directors, (2) the ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, (3) the approval, on an advisory basis, of the executive compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, (4) the vote, on an advisory basis, on how often the Company will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation, and (5) the approval of the Certificate of Amendment to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 115,000,000 to 315,000,000 (“Proposal 5”). As there were sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 5, Proposal 6 (as defined below) was unnecessary and such adjournment proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting, as further described below.
 
The final voting results were as follows:
 
1. The election of each of Laxminarayan Bhat, Parag Saxena, Richard Margolin, Purav Patel and Les Funtleyder as directors to hold office for a term of one year, until their successor is duly elected and qualified or they are otherwise unable to complete their term.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has considered the outcome of this advisory vote on how often the Company will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation and has determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by the Board in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, that the Company will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation every year until the occurrence of the next vote on how often the Company will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation. The next vote, on an advisory basis, on how often the Company will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2030 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

6. In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting “FOR” the adoption of Proposal 5 were insufficient to approve Proposal 5 (“Proposal 6”).
 
As there were sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve Proposal 5, Proposal 6 was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.
