Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined herein) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 14, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with the ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, at ratios of 1-for-2, 1-for-3, 1-for-4, 1-for-5, 1-for-6, 1-for-8 or 1-for-10, respectively. Thereafter, on June 17, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Charter (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to implement the 1-for-8 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) on June 20, 2024, and the Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis at the opening of trading on June 20, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight (8) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001, was converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 4,511,756 shares to approximately 563,969 shares. The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), is providing instructions to stockholders of record regarding the process of exchanging shares.
The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Company’s common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of the Company’s common stock not evenly divisible by eight (8) are entitled, in lieu of a fractional share, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificate(s) representing their pre-split shares or upon conversion of their shares held in book-entry, to receive a cash payment based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock during the ten consecutive trading days ending on June 17, 2024, which cash payment shall not have accrued, and shall be without, interest.
Continental has issued all of the post-split shares through their paperless Direct Registration System, also known as “book-entry form.” Continental will hold the shares in an account set up for the stockholder. All book-entry or other electronic positions representing issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will be automatically adjusted. Those stockholders holding common stock in “street name” will receive instructions from their brokers.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment has been made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan will be reduced proportionately.
After the Reverse Stock Split, the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock will continue to be “BJDX.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock is 095633400.
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, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 17, 2024.
