ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On June 24, 2013, Cytokinetics, Incorporated (the Company) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Amendment) to effect a one-for-six reverse stock split of its common stock, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 24, 2013. A series of alternate amendments to effect a reverse stock split were approved by the Companys stockholders at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 22, 2013, and the specific one-for-six ratio was subsequently approved by the Companys Board of Directors.
The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the reverse stock split, every six shares of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The reverse stock split will affect all shares of the Companys common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Companys equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of preferred stock or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof. In addition, the Amendment correspondingly reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock to 81.5 million.
The Companys common stock will begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Tuesday, June 25, 2013. The new CUSIP number for the Companys common stock following the reverse stock split is 23282W 605.
A copy of the Amendment, as filed on June 24, 2013, is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
