SUNESIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (NASDAQ:SNSS) Files An 8-K Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On July 11, 2019, Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Certificate of Designation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to our Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Series F Stock.

The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series F Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series F Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Common Stock, at any time at the holder’s option. The holder, however, will be prohibited from converting shares of Series F Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding, or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that a holder may, upon written notice to us, elect to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (not to exceed the limits under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b), to the extent applicable). In the event of out liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of Series F Stock will receive a payment equal to the amount that would be paid on the Common Stock underlying the Series F Stock, determined on an as-converted basis. Shares of Series F Stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series F Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Series F Stock or to alter or amend the Certificate of Designation. Shares of the Series F Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends, except to the extent that dividends are paid on our Common Stock, in which case the holders of the Series F Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends on an as-converted basis. The Series F Stock will rank:

in each case, as to distributions of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series F Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
