Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

Effective December 22, 2017, Astrotech Corporation (the "Company") changed its state of incorporation from Washington to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). As of that date, the rights of the Company's stockholders began to be governed by the Delaware corporation laws, the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and the Delaware By-Laws. The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and the Delaware Bylaws are filed herewith as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, and in connection with the Reincorporation, our board of directors designated 300,000 shares of preferred stock as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" in connection with the filing of a Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Designation is filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto.

Certain rights of the Company's stockholders were changed as a result of the Reincorporation. A more detailed description of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designation and the Delaware By-Laws, and the changes in rights of the Company's stockholders as a result of the Reincorporation, is set forth in Proposal No. 2 of the Company's Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2017, as amended, which describes the Reincorporation, and is incorporated herein by reference.
