Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 17, 2017, Quantum Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a 1-for- 8 reverse stock split (the “reverse stock split”). The Certificate of Amendment, and therefore, the reverse stock split, will be effective at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 18, 2017 and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 19, 2017. The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange and will continue to trade under the symbol “QTM” with new CUSIP number 747906501.
Upon the effective time, each eight shares of the Company’s common stock will be automatically combined into one share, with no change in par value. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the company's outstanding common stock from approximately 273 million shares to approximately 34 million shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share will receive a cash payment.
Additional information on the treatment of fractional shares and other effects of the reverse stock split can be found in Quantum's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2017. The amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on March 31, 2017.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
