Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
On December 21, 2025, the stockholders of iPower Inc. (the “Company”) holding a majority of the voting power of the Company’s common stock approved via written consent the execution of one of more reverse stock splits of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of up to one-for-two hundred and fifty (1:250), with the exact ratio and timing to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its discretion. This approval was reported on a Schedule DEF14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2026, which became effective on February 10, 2026.
Pursuant to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, on July 16, 2026, the Board approved a reverse split of between one-for-two (1:2) and one-for-10 (1:10) (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Common Stock, with the final split ratio to be set at the discretion of Company management. Thereafter, Company management determined to set a Reverse Stock Split Ratio of one-for-nine (1:9) and on August 5, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to amend the Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, with an effective date of August 7, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), to effect a 1:9 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at the start of trading on August 7, 2026 (the “Effective Time”).
When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every nine (9) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or vesting of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants in proportion to the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and causes a proportionate increase in the exercise prices of such stock options and warrants. Restricted stock units will be adjusted to reflect the reduced number of underlying shares. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the Company’s total number of authorized shares of Common Stock or preferred stock.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
VStock Transfer, LLC is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such broker’s particular processes.
Commencing on August 7, 2026, trading of the Company’s Common Stock will continue on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 46265P404.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of common stock will, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent the number of shares of common stock into which shares of common stock have been reclassified and converted, but giving effect to the rounding of fractional shares provided for in the immediately preceding sentence.”
