| Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
On September 30, 2020, all outstanding shares of Class 1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, automatically converted into the same number of shares of Class 2 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) of Tilray, Inc. (the “Company”). No additional Class 1 shares will be issued following such conversion.
The conversion occurred pursuant to Article IV, Section D.5 of the Certificate, which provided that each one share of Class 1 common stock would convert automatically, without any further action, into one share of Class 2 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at 5:00 p.m. in New York City, New York on the first trading day falling after the date on which, at all times on such date, the outstanding shares of Class 1 Common Stock represent less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of shares of the then outstanding Class 1 common stock and Class 2 common stock.
Also in accordance with Article IV, Section D.5 of the Certificate, and as required by Section 243 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, on October 1, 2020, the Company filed a certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the retirement and cancellation of the shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued but not outstanding following the conversion (the “Certificate of Retirement”). Pursuant to Article IV, Section D.5(a) of the Certificate, effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Retirement, the obsolete references to Class 1 common stock in the Certificate were eliminated.
The conversion had the following effects, among others, on the holders of shares of Class 1 common stock:
Voting Power. Prior to the conversion, holders of shares of Class 1 common stock were entitled to cast ten votes per share on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. As a result of the conversion, all holders of Class 2 common stock have only one vote per share on all matters subject to a stockholder vote. In addition, the provisions of the Certificate and Delaware law that entitled the holders of shares of Class 2 and Class 1 common stock, in certain circumstances, to separate class voting rights are no longer applicable as a result of the conversion.
Economic Interests. The conversion had no impact on the economic interests of holders of shares of Class 1 common stock, including with regard to dividends, liquidation rights, treatment in connection with a change of control or merger transaction and redemption.
Capitalization. The conversion had no impact on the total number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock; the shares of Class 1 common stock converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class 2 common stock. However, the Company’s total number of authorized shares of capital stock was reduced from 760,000,000 to 743,333,333 to account for the elimination of the 16,666,667 shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued prior to the conversion. The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Class 2 common stock, 233,333,333 shares of Class 1 common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Company’s Certificate prohibits the issuance of any shares of Class 1 common stock.
Resale of Common Stock. Shares of Class 2 common stock may be sold in the same manner as such shares and shares of Class 1 common stock were previously sold prior to the conversion. The Company’s affiliates and holders of any shares that constitute restricted securities will continue to be subject to the restrictions specified in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
As described under Item 3.03, on October 1, 2020, the Company filed the Certificate of Retirement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to retire and cancel the shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued but not outstanding following the conversion.
