Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 9, 2024, Contineum Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Company’s board of directors and the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Restated Certificate to be filed in connection with, and to be effective upon, the closing of the IPO.

The Restated Certificate amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things: (i) authorize 220,000,000 shares of common stock of which 200,000,000 are designated as Class A common stock and 20,000,000 of which are designated as Class B common stock; (ii) eliminate all references to the previously existing series of preferred stock; (iii) authorize 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock that may be issued from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in one or more series; (iv) establish a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each of whose members will serve for staggered three-year terms; (v) provide that directors may be removed from office only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the holders of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock; (vi) provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or its stockholders, or (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, any provision of the Restated Certificate or Restated Bylaws (as defined below) of the Company (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time) or governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (vii) provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). A description of the Restated Certificate is set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Description of Capital Stock” of the Company’s Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2024 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-278003).

The foregoing description of the Restated Certificate is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Certificate, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Effective as of April 9, 2024 the Company adopted amended and restated bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) in connection with the closing of the IPO. The Company’s board of directors and the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Restated Bylaws to be effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO. The Restated Bylaws restate the Company’s bylaws in their entirety to, among other things: (i) eliminate the ability of the Company’s stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting and call special meetings of stockholders; (ii) establish procedures relating to the presentation of stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings; (iii) establish procedures relating to the nomination of directors; and (iv) conform to the provisions of the Restated Certificate. A description of the Restated Bylaws is set forth in the sections of the Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and “Description of Capital Stock.”

The foregoing description of the Restated Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
