Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
As previously reported, the Company shareholders approved the reverse split of the Company’s common stock, along with the reverse split ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors, pursuant to the Company’s recent Special Meeting of Shareholders on March 19, 2025. The reverse stock split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 7, 2025, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the existing ticker symbol “BGLC” on that same day. Following the shareholders meeting, on that same date (March 19, 2025), the Board of Directors of the Company approved and ratified a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten (1-for-10). The Company is undertaking the reverse stock split in an effort to cure its bid price deficiency under NASDAQ rules. In order to regain NASDAQ compliance, the Company’s closing bid price must be above $1.00 share for 10 consecutive trading days during the compliance period which ends May 1, 2025 so long as no other NASDAQ deficiency occurs during such period.
The Articles of Amendment regarding the reverse stock split was filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State on April 1, 2025 and is attached as Exhibit 3.7 hereto. The new CUSIP number for the Company will be 090628306, which was made eligible by DTCC on March 25, 2025.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten (10) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one (1) share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 4, 2025 (the trading day immediately preceding the effective date), and such fractional shares will be cancelled.
The Company’s transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, will act as the exchange agent for the reverse split. Shareholders holding shares electronically in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record holding physical certificates will receive instructions for exchanging their certificates from the exchange agent.
The reverse stock split will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest or proportional voting power, subject to the treatment of fractional shares.
