Item 8.01. Other Events

Following approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s board of directors set the ratio of the reverse stock split at 1-for-12.5 and the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to implement the reverse stock split. The Certificate of Amendment and the reverse stock split will be effective as of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 31, 2020, and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American market on a post-reverse stock split basis on August 3, 2020.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every twelve and one-half shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 87,007,145 shares to approximately 6,960,572 shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding of fractional shares as described below.

The reverse stock split will not alter the par value of the common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. All fractional shares otherwise issuable as a result of the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next highest whole number of shares.

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 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, convertible preferred stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately.

After the reverse stock split, the trading symbol for the common stock will continue to be “HUSA”.

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.
