On October 18, 2013, Digital Angel Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting a one-for-thirty reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and a name change of the Company to VeriTeQ Corporation (the “Name Change”). The reverse stock split became effective in the marketplace on October 22, 2013, at which time every thirty (30) shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one (1) issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Certificate of Amendment provides that no fractional shares will be issued. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock as reported on October 21, 2013 on the OTC Markets. A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Trading of the Company's common stock will continue on the OTC Markets on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis. The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 923449 102.
