Item 8.01. Other Events

On September 2, 2015, Stellar Biotechnologies, Inc. (the "Company") effected a reverse stock split of the Company's common shares, no par value per share (the "Common Shares"), at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the "Reverse Split"). As a result of the Reverse Split, every ten shares of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, without par value, consolidated into one newly-issued outstanding Common Share, without any change in the par value per share. Each fractional share remaining after the Reverse Split that is less than one-half of a share will be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least one-half of a share will be changed to one whole share. The Reverse Split has also correspondingly reduced the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding from 79,847,550 million to approximately 7,984,755 million.

A copy of the press release confirming the effectiveness of the Reverse Split is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
