Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Years.
On November 2, 2017, Comstock Mining Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to implement a five-for-one (5:1) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) for all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000666 (the “Common Stock”) and a contemporaneous five-for-one (5:1) reduction in the number of shares of the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 3,950,000,000 to 790,000,000 shares, in accordance with the procedures authorized by Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.207 and 78.209. The board of directors of the Company approved this corporate action by resolutions adopted at a meeting duly held on October 23, 2017. The Reverse Split did not require stockholder approval.
The Reverse Split will be effective for trading purposes at the market opening on November 10, 2017, at which time the Common Stock will begin trading on the NYSE AMERICAN on a split-adjusted basis. The Common Stock continues to trade under the symbol “LODE.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock post-Reverse Split is 205750201.
The Company will round up to the next full share of the Common Stock any fractional shares that results from the Reverse Split.
A copy of the Certificate of Change is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
