STRATA SKIN SCIENCES, INC. (NASDAQ:SSKN) Files An 8-K Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 5.03 of this Form 8-K current
report is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 6, 2017, STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”)
filed a certificate of amendment to its Fifth Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware implementing a
1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, to
which each 5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock
converted into 1 share of common stock. Proportionate voting
rights and other rights of common stock holders will not be
affected by the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing
fractional shares, the Company will round fractions of shares
up to the nearest whole share.
The 1-for-5 reverse stock split will be effective at 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on Thursday, April 6, 2017, and the Company’s
common stock will trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a
post-split basis at the open of trading on Friday, April 7,
2017. The Company’s post-reverse split common stock will have
a new CUSIP number, 86272A 206. Other terms of the common stock
are not affected by the reverse stock split. The common stock
will continue to trade under the symbol “SSKN.”
The Company has approximately 2.2 million post-split shares
outstanding as a result of the reverse stock split.
The Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer, is
acting as exchange agent for the reverse stock split and will
send instructions to stockholders of record regarding the
exchange of certificates for common stock. Stockholders owning
shares via a broker or other nominee will have their positions
automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split,
subject to the brokers’ particular processes, and will not be
required to take any action in connection with the reverse
stock split.
The number of shares of the Company’s convertible preferred
outstanding was not affected by the reverse stock split.
However, the number of shares of common stock into which each
outstanding share of the Company’s convertible preferred stock
is convertible will be adjusted proportionately as a result of
the reverse stock split. All stock options and warrants to
purchase common stock outstanding and the Company’s common
stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity
incentive plans immediately prior to the reverse stock split
will be appropriately adjusted by dividing the number of
affected shares of common stock by five and, as applicable,
multiplying the exercise price by five as a result of the
reverse stock split.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company expects to
regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price
requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market;
however, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split
will have that effect.
