Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
In connection with the various corporate action disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by BAIYU Holdings, Inc. (formerly, TD Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a form of certificate of amendment of certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) on September 18, 2023 to (i) effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock to comply with the Nasdaq’s minimum trading price requirement, at a ratio of one-for-twenty to one-for-fifty (with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the members of the board of directors (the “Board”) in its sole discretion, and (ii) change the Company’s name to BAIYU Holdings, Inc. (the “Name Change”), with the final decision of whether to proceed with the Name Change and the timing for implementing the Name Change to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. For more information, please refer to the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by the Company. The Board subsequently set the reverse stock split ratio at one-for-fifty and authorized the Company to effect the Name Change.
On October 19, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment to effect the Name Change and a reverse stock split at the split ratio of one-for-fifty (the “Reverse Split”).
As a result of the Reverse Split, every fifty (50) shares of the Company’s pre-split Common Stock will be combined into one (1) share of the Company’s post-split Common Stock, without any change in par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split and all such fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
The Reverse Split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of Common Stock for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).
1
The new CUSIP number of the common stock following the Reverse Split is expected to be 87250W301. The Company’s Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq during the week of October 23, 2023.
The Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, is acting as the exchange agent and paying agent for the Reverse Split.
The Reverse Split does not affect the Company’s authorized shares of stock (which will remain at 650,000,000, including 600,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock) and will not change the par value of the stock (which will remain at $0.001 per share).
The Reverse Split will not dilute stockholder’s interest in the Company as each stockholder will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Split, except for immaterial adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described above. The Reverse Split will have no effect on the voting rights of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Following the Name Change, any stock certificates that reflect the former name of the Company will continue to be valid. Certificates reflecting the Name Change will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent.
The summary 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, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
