Barfresh Food Group Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify:
FIRST: That by means of a unanimous written consent the Board of Directors of Barfresh Food Group Inc. adopted resolutions setting forth a proposed amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation, declaring said amendment to be advisable and recommending its adoption by the stockholders of said corporation. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Board declares it advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-40, with such ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board and with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (but in no event later than December 31, 2021).
SECOND: That by means of a written consent by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation, in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the proposed amendment was approved by the necessary number of shares as required by statute.
THIRD: That at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Barfresh Food Group Inc., resolutions were duly adopted setting forth the specifics of the proposed amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Board declares it advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in a ratio of 1-for-13, and that in lieu of issuing fractional shares the number of shares to which a holder shall be entitled shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share;
FOURTH: Accordingly, Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding a third paragraph which states:
“Upon the effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each thirteen (13) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Exhibit 99.1
Barfresh Completes Reverse Stock Split in Connection with Application for
Uplisting to a National Exchange
Company Expects Fourth Quarter 2021 Revenue to Exceed $2 Million; Highest Quarterly Revenue in
Company History
LOS ANGELES, December 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Barfresh Food Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Barfresh”) (OTCQB: BRFH), a provider of frozen, ready-to-blend and ready-to-drink beverages, today announced it completed a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-13 (1:13). The Company’s stock will begin trading on a post-split basis on the OTCQB at the open of trading on December 29, 2021 under the temporary trading symbol “BRFHD”. The “D” lettering will be removed within 20 business days if the stock is still trading on the OTCQB, or upon the listing of the Company’s common stock on a National Exchange, whichever comes first. At that time, the Company’s trading symbol will revert back to “BRFH.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock is 06753220.
The reverse stock split was implemented by the Company in connection with its application to uplist the Company’s common stock on a National Exchange. The reverse stock split is intended to fulfill the stock price requirements for initial listing on a National Exchange.
Riccardo Delle Coste, Chief Executive Officer of Barfresh commented, “We will enter 2022 with more than double the number of schools selling our product and many additional channels including restaurants and military beginning to reorder products. The month of December will be the largest recorded month of sales in our company history and we expect our fourth quarter 2021 to exceed $2 million in revenue. In addition, we are in a very strong financial position with a healthy cash balance and no debt at the end of 2021.”
“We completed our reverse stock split from a position of strength and believe this is one of the final steps before we are approved for an uplist to a National Exchange. We feel an uplisting is a necessary step and will add long-term shareholder value as we garner greater interest in our company from the broader investment community.”
At the effective time of the 1:13 reverse stock split, every thirteen shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one share of issued and outstanding common stock, with any fractional shares rounded up to one whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from approximately 167.8 million shares to approximately 12.9 million shares. Shareholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
