Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
Reverse Stock Split
The Board of Directors of Assure Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved the consolidation of the Company’s authorized and issued and outstanding common stock, par $0.001, on an eighteen (18) (old) for one (1) (new) share basis (the “Reverse Split”), pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”) Section 78.207. On July 5, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Change (“Certificate of Change”) with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 78.209, to effect the Reverse Split, effective at 12:01 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on July 9, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), subject to the right of termination by the Board of Directors prior to the Effective Time.
The Board of Directors approved the Reverse Split to meet the share bid price requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market.
Effect of Reverse Split
At the Effective Time, the total number of shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) authorized by the Corporation will be reduced from 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par $0.001, to 13,888,888 shares of Common Stock, par $0.001, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder of the Company will be consolidated automatically into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Split divided by eighteen (18): effecting an eighteen (18) pre-split shares for one (1) post-split share reverse stock split.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split and all fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share, pursuant to NRS 78.205(2)(b).
As of July 8, 2023, the Company had 10,602,306 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and after the Reverse Split, the Company will have approximately 589,017 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Also on the Effective Date, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by eighteen (18) and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by eighteen (18), all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.
Immediately after the Reverse Split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Split.
No Shareholder Approval Required.
Pursuant to NRS 78.207, no consent or approval of the stockholders is required for the Reverse Split.
Symbol; CUSIP
The Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on July 9, 2024, meaning that each eighteen (18) pre-split shares will represent one (1) post-split share, and the share price is expected to increase mechanically in proportion to the 18:1 ratio. The Common Stock will continue to trade under its existing symbol “IONM”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Split will be 04625J402.
Certificated and Non-Certificated Shares.
The Company intends to treat stockholders holding shares of Common Stock in “street name” (that is, held through a bank, broker or other nominee) in the same manner as stockholders of record whose shares of Common Stock are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding shares of our Common Stock in “street name;” however, these banks, brokers or other nominees may apply their own specific procedures for processing the Reverse Split. Stockholders who are holding their shares of Common Stock in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the Reverse Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.
Stockholders who are holding their shares of Common Stock electronically in direct registered book-entry form (“DRS”) with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), will not need to take action. The Reverse Split will automatically be reflected in the Transfer Agent’s records and on such stockholders’ next account statement.
Stockholders holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) exchange their stock certificates for post-split shares of Common Stock held electronically in DRS book-entry form, which means they will not receive physical stock certificates and will receive a statement of account and instructions from the Transfer Agent regarding the transition to book-entry share registration. To obtain a Letter of Transmittal or for instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his, her or its certificates representing pre-split shares of Common Stock to the Transfer Agent in exchange for post-split shares in DRS book-entry form, please contact the Transfer Agent toll free at 1 (800) 546-5141.
Nevada Filing - Certificate of Change
On July 5, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 78.209, which amends the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, effective at the Effective Time. Pursuant to 78.209, the Board of Directors may terminate the Reverse Split at any time prior to the Effective Time by resolution and filing of a certificate of termination.
The description contained herein of the Reverse Split and proportional decrease of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Change, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-262092) on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Commission regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference future filings made with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-8.

Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act, the amount of undistributed shares of Common Stock deemed to be covered by the effective registration statements of the Company described above are proportionately reduced as of the Effective Time to give effect to the Reverse Split.
