Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, OF
FORTRESS BIOTECH, INC.
Fortress Biotech, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify:
1. | The amendments as set forth in such resolutions are as follows. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph F to Article IV: |
“F. At 12:01 a.m. on the day following the date on which this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, is filed and declared effective pursuant to the DGCL (the “Effective Time”) every 15 issued and outstanding shares or shares held by the Corporation as treasury stock of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as of the date and time immediately preceding the Effective Time (the “Old Shares”), shall automatically be reclassified as and converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Corporation (the “New Shares”) without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Further, every right, option and warrant to acquire Old Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time and without any further action, automatically be reclassified into the right to acquire New Shares based on the conversion ratio of shares of Old Shares to New Shares set forth in the preceding sentence, but otherwise upon the terms of such right, option or warrant (except that the exercise or purchase price of such right, option or warrant shall be proportionately adjusted).
No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional New Shares in the Reverse Stock Split shall be entitled to receive cash (without interest or deduction) from the Corporation’s transfer agent in lieu of such fractional share interests upon the submission of a letter of transmittal by a stockholder holding the shares in book-entry form and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of the stockholder’s Old Certificates (as defined below), in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the date of the Effective Time, by (b) the fraction of one New Share owned by the stockholder.
Each holder of record of a certificate which immediately prior to the last trading day preceding the date of the Effective Time (the “Effective Date”) represents Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Corporation’s transfer agent for cancellation, a certificate (the “New Certificates”) representing the number of whole New Shares into and for which the shares formerly represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered are exchangeable. From and after the Effective Date, Old Certificates shall represent only the right to receive New Certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof.”
2. | The foregoing amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The foregoing amendments shall be effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to be executed and acknowledged by its duly appointed officer as of this 9th day of October, 2023.
