Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On November 16, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Delaware time) on November 20, 2017 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As previously reported, the Company held an annual meeting of stockholders on June 21, 2017, at which meeting the Company’s stockholders, by an affirmative vote of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock, approved the amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse split of the Common Stock at a ratio determined by the Company’s Board within a range of not less than one-for-four shares (1:4) and not greater than one-for-twenty shares (1:20), with a corresponding reduction of the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The Board has determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-four shares (1:4), and approved the Certificate of Amendment.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be paid in cash in a proportionate amount based on the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by The Nasdaq Global Market on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 83.4 million shares to approximately 20.9 million shares, subject to adjustment for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares under the Certificate of Incorporation will also be reduced: (i) Common Stock from 200 million shares to 50 million shares, and (ii)Preferred Stock from 20 million shares to 5 million shares.
In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.
The Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Market on November 21, 2017. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “INAP.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 45885A 409.
The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1.
