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

On May 11, 2023, Aspira Women’s Health Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Amendment, to effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, effective as of May 11, 2022, or the Reverse Stock Split. A series of alternate amendments to effect the Reverse Stock Split was approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 9, 2022, and the specific one-for-fifteen (1:15) ratio was subsequently approved by our Board of Directors on May 9, 2022.

The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifteen shares of our 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 our 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 our equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable 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 because of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.

Our common stock is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on May 12, 2023. The new CUSIP number for our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 04537Y 208.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
