Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

See Item 5.03 of this report which is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by this reference.

As discussed below in Item 5.07, the stockholders of Abtech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation by filing a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Change”) to effect a 200-for-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and a 16-for-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized Common Stock (together the “Stock Split”).

On August 17, 2018, pursuant to the approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to proceed with the Stock Split and take all necessary actions to effectuate the Stock Split, the Company effected the Stock Split pursuant to the filing of the Certificate of Change.

The Certificate of Change provides that at the effective time of the Stock Split, every 200 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in par value per share. The Stock Split will affect all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Stock Split. In addition, the Stock Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 800,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Stock Split. Instead, the Company will round fractional shares of Common Stock to the nearest whole share.

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Change is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Change, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
