Reverse Stock Split
On December 13, 2023, Surrozen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), to effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, effective as of December 13, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). A series of alternate amendments to effect the Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 7, 2023, and the specific one-for-fifteen (1:15) ratio was subsequently approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 7, 2023.
The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 15 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split affected all shares of the Company’s 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 the Company’s equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split effected a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split with a corresponding increase in the exercise price per share applicable to such stock options and warrants. No fractional shares were 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.
The Company’s common stock is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on December 14, 2023 under the existing ticker symbol “SRZN”. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 86889P208. The par value per share of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001.
The Company’s warrants trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SRZNW”. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 15 shares of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the Company’s outstanding warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split represents one share of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants immediately following the Reverse Stock Split. Correspondingly, the exercise price per share of such warrants has been proportionately increased, such that the exercise price per share of such warrants immediately following the Reverse Stock Split is $172.50, which equals the product of 15 multiplied by $11.50, the exercise price per share immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, such warrants will not be exercisable for any fractional shares. Fractional shares will be treated in accordance with the terms of the warrant. All other terms of each outstanding warrant will remain the same.
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.
