Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information set forth in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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

 

On October 14, 2022, Agrify Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on October 14, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”) and by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The Certificate of Amendment effects a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in which each ten (10) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on October 18, 2022 (the effective time of the reverse stock split) will be combined and converted into one share of Common Stock. While the reverse stock split will decrease the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, it will not change the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company, nor will it change the par value of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of Common Stock will receive a whole share in lieu thereof.

 

This summary of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Company expects that the reverse stock split-adjusted shares of its Common Stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the market on October 18, 2022 under the new CUSIP number 00853E206. No change will be made to the trading symbol for the Common Stock, “AGFY”, in connection with the reverse stock split.    

 

In connection with the reverse stock split, proportional adjustments will be made to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, (ii) the exercise price or conversion price (as applicable) of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, and (iii) the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

  

On October 14, 2022, the Company held the Special Meeting virtually, commencing at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  Of the Company’s 26,678,477 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and eligible to vote as of the record date of September 6, 2022, a quorum of 14,894,954 shares, or approximately 55.83% of the eligible shares, were represented at the virtual Special Meeting either in person or by proxy.   

 

A description of each matter voted upon at the Special Meeting is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). The matters voted upon at the Special Meeting and the final results of such voting are set forth below:
