Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

Effective October 23, 2017 we changed our Company’s name from Heatwurx, Inc. to Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by filing an Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On October 23, 2017 our board of directors authorized and our shareholders, by written consent, approved a reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) pursuant to which each seven (7) issued and outstanding shares of our common stock will be combined and turned into one (1) share of our common stock rounded up to the next whole share, as of that date. We subsequently submitted an application to the Financial Industry Regulatory Association [FINRA] whereby we requested formal approval to (i) change our name from Heatwurx, Inc. to Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and (ii) implement our Reverse Split in our trading markets. As previously disclosed, following our acquisition of assets of Promet Therapeutics, LLC, FINRA approved the change of our trading symbol from “HUWX” to “PCSA”. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended, filed on October 12, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
