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

Story continues below

On January 16, 2019, BioCorRx Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) for a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split will take effect upon an approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (the “Effective Date”).

The above description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As previously disclosed in a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2018, and on a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the SEC on April 10, 2018, the Reverse Split was approved by our stockholders on January 16, 2018. On that date, the Company received written consent in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders (the “Written Consent”) from holders of shares of voting securities representing approximately 59% of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting securities of the Company approving the granting of discretionary authority to the Board of the Directors of the Company, at any time or times for a period of 12 months after the date of the Written Consent, to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split.

The Reverse Split was implemented by the Company in connection with the Company’s application to list its shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “NASDAQ”). The Reverse Split is intended to fulfill, now or in the near future, the stock price requirements for listing on the NASDAQ since the requirements include, among other things, that the Company’s common stock must be, at time of listing, $4.00 or higher. There is no assurance that the Company’s application to list its shares of common stock on the NASDAQ will be approved.

The grant provides for (i) $2,842,430 in funding during the first year and (ii) $2,831,838 during the second year subject to the terms and conditions specified in the grant, including satisfactory progress of project and the availability of funds.
