Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective July 15, 2024, JanOne Inc. (the “Company”) changed its corporate name from JanOne Inc. to ALT5 Sigma Corporation, and also changed its Nasdaq common stock ticker symbol from “JAN” to “ALTS”. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of ALT5 Sigma Corporation, our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of effectuating the name change (the “Name Change Subsidiary”), whereby it merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity. In preparation for the name-change merger, we filed Articles of Incorporation of the Name Change Subsidiary with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on July 10, 2024. A copy of those Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.19. Then, on July 11, 2024, to effectuate the name change, we filed Articles of Merger between the Name Change Subsidiary and us with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. A copy of the Articles of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.20. The name-change merger became effective on July 15, 2024. Our Board of Directors approved the name-change merger and, in accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, approval by our stockholders was not required. Further, our website address changed from “janone.com” to “alt5sigma.com.” No action by our stockholders was required with respect to the ticker symbol change. Our CUSIP number and transfer agent remain unchanged.
Section 7 – Regulation FD
7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
