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

On November 2, 2022, the shareholders of Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) voted to approve an amendment to Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio between 1-for-2 and up to 1-for-30, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).

On May 5, 2023, the Board approved by Unanimous Written Consent a Reverse Split ratio of 1-for-20, and the Company subsequently filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation reflecting the Reverse Split with the Secretary of State of Nevada (the “Certificateof Amendment”) and submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regarding the Reverse Stock Split to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. On June 2, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Amendment to defer the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. On August 11, 2023, the Board approved a second Certificate of Correction amending the Reverse Split ratio to 1-for-30, and the Company subsequently filed such second Certificate of Correction, which serves as the Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Correction”), with the Secretary of State of Nevada on August 24, 2023 (the effective date of the Reverse Split for Nevada law purposes). The Reverse Stock Split effective for public market purposes as of August 30, 2023.
