On June 27, 2024, Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effected a one-for-10 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”). As previously disclosed, at its annual meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to authorize the Board to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio between 1:2 to 1:20 shares of Common Stock (the “Split Ratio Range”), with the final determination of a ratio within the Split Ratio Range to be approved by the Board following stockholder approval. On June 15, 2024, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-10. Following such approval, the Company filed an amendment to its Charter (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, with an effective time of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 27, 2024. On June 27, 2024, the Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 766559702.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock are instead entitled to a check representing the cash value equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock, as reported by Nasdaq, on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
