Item 5.03 – Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Galecto, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 20, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing an amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a one-time reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-4 and not greater than 1-for-25.
On August 29, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to effect a one-time reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, after the close of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on August 29, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every 25 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GLTO.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 36322Q 206.
The summary of the Certificate of Amendment contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference
