Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Reverse Split
As previously reported, on July 2, 2024, the stockholders of Safe and Green Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved a proposal at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the Board of Directors to abandon such amendment. Subsequently, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a final split ratio of 1-for-20 with such stock split to be effective as of October 8, 2024. Following such approval, on October 7, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split, with an effective time (the “Effective Time”) of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 8, 2024 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will not impact the number of authorized shares of Common Stock which remains at 50,000,000 shares.
Split Adjustment; Treatment of Fractional Shares
As a result of the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split, each twenty (20) pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding will automatically combine into one (1) new share of Common Stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares Common Stock will be reduced from approximately 19 million shares to approximately 1 million shares (subject to rounding of fractional shares, which will be paid in cash). Proportional adjustments will also be made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, debentures and warrants, as well as the applicable conversion price and exercise price.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of fractional shares, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification and combination following the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (after taking into account all fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest multiplied by the average closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for the ten days preceding October 8, 2024. Holders of as many as nineteen (19) shares of Common Stock would be eliminated as a result of the cash payment in lieu of any issuance of fractional shares or interests in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Trading Symbol; New CUSIP
After the Reverse Stock Split, the trading symbol for the Common Stock will continue to be “SGD.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 78637J204.
Certificate of Amendment
The description of the Amendment set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In addition, on October 4, 2024, the Company issued a press release relating to the Reverse Stock Split described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Reverse Stock Split is intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will have the desired effect of sufficiently raising the bid price of the Common Stock for the required period. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
