SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF

BANZAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

(Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

 

Banzai International, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”),

 

1. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware setting forth a proposed amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the “Restated Certificate”), and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The requisite stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved said proposed amendment in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The amendment amends the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as follows:

 

Article IV, Section (A) of the Restated Certificate is hereby amended to amend the following paragraph immediately after the first paragraph of Article IV, Section (A):

 

“Upon this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becoming effective pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), the shares of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified as and combined into a smaller number of shares such that every 50 shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time are automatically combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Class A Common Stock as a result of the reclassification and combination following the Effective Time (after taking into account all fractional shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

Each stock certificate or book-entry position that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Class A Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate or book-entry position shall have been reclassified and combined.”

 

2. This Certificate of Amendment shall be effective at 11:00 AM Eastern Time on September 11, 2024.

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by its Chief Executive Officer this 11th day of September, 2024.
