Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 20, 2023, Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, effective as of 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 5, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The total number of authorized shares of our common stock will be reduced from 990,000,000 to 165,000,000. The common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the open of trading on July 6, 2023, and the trading symbol will continue to be “STRC”. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Company's common stock has been changed to 80359A 205; the CUSIP number for the Company's public warrants will not change.
The Company’s stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 14, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), which was previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2023. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-6.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every six (6) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be paid out in cash. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, is acting as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
The information set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment that effectuated the Reverse Stock Split, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
SARCOS TECHNOLOGY AND ROBOTICS CORPORATION
Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies as follows:
“Section 1. Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment (the “Effective Time”), each six (6) shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, that are issued and outstanding or held in treasury on the Effective Time shall be reverse split and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock of the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exchange and combination. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled and (ii) the closing price per share on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split), without interest. All other rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s Common Stock shall be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in existence as of immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment.
This Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of stock that the Company shall have authority to issue is 175,000,000 shares, of which 165,000,000 shares are Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share.”
[signature page follows]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company on June 19, 2023.

Exhibit 99.1
Sarcos Announces Reverse Stock Split
SALT LAKE CITY – June 20, 2023 - Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (“Sarcos” or “Company”) (NASDAQ: STRC and STRCW), a leader in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced robotic systems, solutions and software that redefine human possibilities, today announced that it has resolved to effect a reverse stock split of Sarcos’ issued common stock and has determined the ratio to be 1-for-6. Sarcos’ stockholders previously approved the reverse stock split and granted the board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the reverse stock split at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 14, 2023.
The reverse stock split will become effective on July 5, 2023 at 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time, (“Effective Time”) and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the open of trading on July 6, 2023 under the existing ticker symbol “STRC”. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the price per share of the Company's common stock to allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.
As of the Effective Time, every six (6) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, and the total number of authorized shares of our common stock will be reduced from 990,000,000 to 165,000,000. The par value per share of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans. The total number of authorized shares of preferred stock will not be reduced and remains at 10,000,000 shares. Any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be paid out in cash.
The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock & Trust Company, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise price and number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the options outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the number of shares subject to restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plans.
Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in Sarcos definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
