Item 3.03. Material Modification 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 Items 5.03 and 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
As set forth in more detail below, on September 20, 2022, Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (“Special Meeting”). As described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on September 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) announced that the Reverse Stock Split would be effected at a ratio of 1-for-50, with an effective time of 4:01 p.m. Eastern time on September 30, 2022. On or about September 20, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Reverse Stock Split will be effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern time on September 30, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). The Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American on a post-split basis on October 3, 2022.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifty (50) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time will be combined into one (1) share of Common Stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock from approximately 54,514,828 to approximately 1,090,296. The Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), will serve as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the Reverse Stock Split.
Because the Certificate of Amendment did not reduce the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split was to increase the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they held a number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by fifty (50), will, in lieu of a fractional share, be entitled, upon conversion of their shares held in book-entry, to a cash payment equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock as reported by the NYSE American on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest.
AST will be issuing all of the post-split shares in paperless, “book-entry” form, and unless otherwise requested by the stockholder, AST will hold the shares in an account set up for the stockholder. All book-entry or other electronic positions representing issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock will be automatically adjusted. Those stockholders holding Common Stock in “street name” will receive instructions from their brokers.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately.
Furthermore, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding warrants.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, the trading symbol for the Common Stock continues to be “RMED”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 74933X 302.
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On September 20, 2022, the Company held the Special Meeting at which, of the 52,909,195 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of July 22, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, 30,784,096
-3-

These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize.

TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Ra Medical Systems, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), certifies that:
|
1. |
The name of the Corporation is Ra Medical Systems, Inc. The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 14, 2018. |
|
2. |
This Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, by the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Corporation. |
|
3. |
Section 4.1 of Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read in its entirety as follows: |
“Authorized Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is three hundred ten million shares, consisting of three hundred million shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and ten million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment (the “Effective Time”), each twenty to fifty shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, that are issued and outstanding or held in treasury on the Effective Time shall be reverse split and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, with the exact ratio within the twenty to fifty range to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a duly authorized committee thereof) prior to the Effective Time and publicly announced by the Corporation, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split shall occur automatically without any further action by the Corporation or by the holders of the shares affected thereby and whether or not the certificates representing such shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Certificates”) are surrendered to the Corporation. The Reverse Stock Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock of the Corporation. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exchange and subdivision. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a
fractional share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the net proceeds obtained from the aggregation and sale by the exchange agent of the fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split (reduced by any customary brokerage fees, commissions and other expenses). The disposition of fractional share interests shall be effected by the Corporation by having (x) the exchange agent of the Corporation aggregate such fractional interests, (y) the shares resulting from the aggregation sold and (z) the net proceeds received from the sale allocated and distributed among the holders of the fractional interests on the basis of the relative fractional interests held by stockholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Exhibit 99.1
Ra Medical Systems Announces Results of its Special Meeting of Stockholders and a 1-for-50 Reverse Stock Split
CARLSBAD, Calif. (September 20, 2022) – Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE American: RMED) (“Ra Medical” or the “Company”) announces that at its virtual Special Meeting of Stockholders held today, the Company’s stockholders approved all three proposals on the proxy filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2022. The Company also announces that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, with an effective time of 4:01 p.m. Eastern time on September 30, 2022.The Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at commencement of trading on Monday, October 3, 2022.
“We thank our stockholders for voting to pass all Special Meeting proposals. In addition to assisting us with maintaining our listing with the NYSE American exchange, this vote is an important step toward completing our planned merger with Catheter Precision, which our board believes offers the best path for value creation for our company,” said Will McGuire, Ra Medical CEO. “We plan to file a proxy in the coming weeks for another Special Meeting that will allow our stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with Catheter Precision. Assuming the merger proposal passes and the other conditions under the merger agreement are satisfied, we expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2022.”
Results of the Special Meeting of Stockholders
At the September 20, 2022 Special Meeting of Stockholders, the following proposals were approved:
|
• |
Proposal No. 1 – Warrant Exercise Proposal: The issuance of more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon the exercise of the Company’s Series C Common Stock Purchase Warrants. The passage of this proposal provides for the immediate right for the potential exercise to occur and was required in accordance with NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a); |
|
• |
Proposal No. 2 – Reverse Stock Split Proposal: To amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock that is issued and outstanding or held in treasury at a stock split ratio of between 1-for-20 and 1-for-50. Passage of the proposal authorized the Company’s board of directors to institute the reverse stock split, including the selection of timing and ratio of the reverse stock split; and |
|
• |
Proposal No. 3 – Adjournment Proposal: To continue the Special Meeting of Stockholders if necessary to continue solicitation of votes for Proposals No. 1 & No. 2. |
Reverse Stock Split
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Ra Medical’s common stock outstanding from approximately 54,514,828 shares to approximately 1,090,296 shares, but will not change the authorized number of shares of common stock, which will remain at 300,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American Stock Market under the symbol “RMED.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 74933X 302.
The reverse stock split supports maintenance of the Company’s NYSE American listing. On September 2, 2022, Ra Medical announced receipt of a notice that the NYSE American LLC had determined the Company’s securities had been selling at a low price per share for a substantial period of time. Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the NYSE American has determined to be no later than February 28, 2023.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional share from the Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Holders of the Company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from the Company’s transfer agent regarding their common stock ownership post-reverse stock split.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately.
Furthermore, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding warrants.
Proposed Merger Agreement
On September 12, 2022, Ra Medical announced entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with privately held Catheter Precision, Inc., a medical device and technology company focused in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Catheter Precision will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ra Medical in a stock-for-stock reverse merger transaction (the “Merger”). If completed, the Merger will result in a combined publicly traded company that will focus on the cardiac electrophysiology market, one of the most robust and growing areas of medical devices.
Catheter Precision has three product areas that it intends to pursue. Its lead product, named VIVO™ (an acronym for View Into Ventricular Onset) is an FDA-cleared and CE mark product that utilizes non-invasive inputs to locate the origin of ventricular arrhythmias, and, through its use, the physician can identify patients for invasive catheter ablation, and with those patients, reduce the amount of time in the invasive procedure. Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular tachyarrhythmias and premature ventricular arrhythmias, diseases that affect millions of patients who are not well treated today. While much past growth in the electrophysiology market has been for atrial fibrillation, Catheter Precision believes that ventricular arrhythmias represent a large growth area moving forward. It also intends to pursue a second generation of Amigo®, a robotic arm previously cleared by the FDA and awarded the CE mark, which serves as a catheter control device that can be remotely controlled outside of the procedure room. Catheter Precision has demonstrated that patient outcomes could potentially be enhanced by utilization of this device. Catheter Precision is working toward a third product release in the first half of 2023, which is a vessel closure device that would assist in the closure of the insertion site of the percutaneous catheter or other device used within the body. It is estimated that the worldwide market for this closure assist device is over one million procedures per year.
Medtech veteran David Jenkins, who has extensive experience growing medical device start-ups, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Before taking the role as CEO of Catheter Precision, Mr. Jenkins was instrumental in operating several medical device start-ups, including Transneuronix, Inc., which was acquired by Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT) for $267 million in July 2005, and EP MedSystems, Inc., which was acquired by St. Jude Medical for $95.7 million in July 2008.
The Merger is expected to close before the end of 2022, subject to satisfying certain closing conditions, including the receipt of shareholder approval by both companies. The descriptions of the Merger, the proposals to be voted on in connection with the Merger at the Ra Medical Special Meeting of Stockholders, Catheter Precision and the other transactions and matters contemplated thereby or referenced herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, including the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 12, 2022 and September 2, 2022, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 and any prior or subsequent reports on
-5-
Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time and available on the SEC website. The Company also intends to file a proxy statement relating to the Merger with Catheter Precision with the SEC, as further described below.

No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to buy or sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
