Re: Wound Management Technologies, Inc.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed June 6, 2014
File No. 000-11808
Dear Ms. Breslin:
On behalf of Wound Management Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), this letter responds to your comment letter dated June 25, 2014. The Company’s answers are set forth below under your numbered comments. We have filed an amendment to the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in conjunction with our filing of this correspondence.
Charter Amendment, page 17
1. Please revise to indicate the reason(s) why you are seeking to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100 million shares to 250 million shares. Also expand this section to indicate, as of the most recent date practicable:
●
|
the number of outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock;
|
●
|
the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options, warrants, contractual commitments or other arrangements; and
|
●
|
the number of authorized and unissued shares that are not reserved for any specific use and are available for future issuances, before and after the proposed increase in authorized shares.
|
Response: We have revised the referenced section to indicate the reasons for the increase in authorized shares, and expanded it to provide for inclusion of the share data described in the bullet points above.
2. Please expand your disclosure to discuss the possible anti-takeover effects of the proposed increase in authorized shares. In doing so, please discuss any other provisions of your governing documents that may have material anti-takeover consequences. Also disclose whether the increase in the number of common shares is the result of or in response to any accumulation of stock or threatened takeover. Refer to Exchange Act Release No. 34-15230 (October 13, 1978).
Response: We have revised the referenced section, expanding the disclosure to discuss possible anti-takeover effects of the proposed increase in authorized shares, as well as other provisions of the Company’s governing documents that may have material anti-takeover consequences. We have also included a confirmation that the increase is not being sought as a response to any accumulation or threatened takeover.
Reverse Split, page 17
3. Please revise this section to disclose (1) how any fractional shares resulting from the proposed reverse split will be treated, and (2) the “certain risks associated with” the reverse split that you mention in the last sentence on this page.
Response: We have revised the referenced section to describe the treatment of fractional shares and certain risks associated with the reverse split.
4. We note your statement on page 18 that the sole purpose of the proposed reverse split is to meet the minimum listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Please revise to disclose the relevant minimum listing requirements and how the proposed reverse split would address those requirements.
Response: We have revised the referenced section to describe the relevant minimum listing requirements and how the reverse split might allow the Company’s common stock to meet such requirements.
