Exhibit 3.1

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

TO THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

NIVALIS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies as follows:

 

  A. The name of the Corporation is Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. The predecessor to the Corporation, N30 Pharmaceuticals, LLC, was originally formed as a limited liability company under Section 18-201 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act on March 30, 2007. Effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2012, the Corporation’s predecessor was converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a Certificate of Conversion filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 31, 2012. The Corporation’s original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 31, 2012 under the name N30 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On February 11, 2015, the Corporation changed its name from N30 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc.

 

  B. This Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) amends the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 22, 2015 (the “Prior Certificate”), and has been duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 228 of the DGCL.

 

  C. Article IV of the Prior Certificate is hereby amended to add the following Section D:

“D. Immediately upon the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware each one (1) share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such filing shall be automatically reclassified into one-fourth (1/4) of one share of Common Stock. The aforementioned reclassification shall be referred to collectively as the “Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split shall occur without any further action on the part of the Corporation or stockholders of the Corporation and whether or not certificates representing such stockholders’ shares prior to the Reverse Split are surrendered for cancellation. No fractional interest in a share of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon the Reverse Split. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon the Reverse Split held by a holder prior to the Reverse Split shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Reverse Split would result in the issuance of any fractional share. Any fractional share resulting from such aggregation upon the Reverse Split shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Each holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Common Stock upon the Reverse Split (after aggregating all fractions of a share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled) shall, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market on the trading day immediately preceding the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Corporation shall not be obliged to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split unless and until the certificates evidencing the shares held by a holder prior to the Reverse Split are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.”


  D. The Certificate of Amendment of the Prior Certificate so adopted reads in full as set forth above and is hereby incorporated by reference. All other provisions of the Prior Certificate remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by Michael Carruthers, a duly authorized officer of the Corporation, on July 24, 2017.
