Item
3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To
the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current
Report”) is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On
October 22, 2026, Azitra, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate
a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock
(“Common Stock”). At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 15, 2026, the Company’s stockholders
approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect reverse stock splits of the Common Stock at a ratio
of not less than 1 for 2 and not more than 1 for 30, with the exact ratio for each reverse stock split within such range to be determined
by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
The
Reverse Stock Split will become effective on October 26, 2026 at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”) and the
Common Stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on October 26, 2026 at market
open. As of the Effective Time, every 10 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one
share of Common Stock.
The
par value and other terms of the Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s post-Reverse Stock
Split Common Stock CUSIP number will be 05479L401.
No
fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive
a fractional share of Common Stock will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to (i) the average closing price of the
Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding October 26, 2026, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split that were reclassified into such fractional share pursuant
to the Reverse Stock Split.
The
foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
