Item 3.03. | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
The information set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
At the annual meeting of stockholders (the Annual Meeting) of Altus Midstream Company (the Company), held on May 21, 2020, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Companys Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate of Incorporation) to implement a reverse stock split of the Companys Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), and Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class C Common Stock and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the common stock), by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the Reverse Stock Split). Thereafter, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the Certificate of Amendment) to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to implement the Reverse Stock Split. The Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split were effective as of 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 30, 2020 (the Effective Time), and the Companys common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the Nasdaq) on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis on July 1, 2020.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty shares of the Companys issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock prior to the Effective Time was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, respectively. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 324,929,305 shares to approximately 16,246,465 shares, subject to adjustment for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below. The Companys transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (AST), is the exchange agent for purposes of exchanging stock certificates subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split.
Because the Certificate of Amendment did not reduce the number of authorized shares of the Companys common stock, the effect of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of the common stock.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Each stockholder that otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing such pre-Reverse Stock Split shares, if applicable, payment of cash in lieu of such fractional share. Such cash payment in lieu of a fractional share will be calculated by multiplying such fractional interest in one share of the Companys common stock by the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split). After the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder otherwise entitled to a fractional share of the Companys common stock will not have any voting, dividend, or other rights with respect to such fractional share except to receive payment as described above. Stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Effective Time and the date payment is made for their fractional share interest.
Stockholders who hold registered shares of the Companys common stock in a book-entry form will not need to take any action to receive their post-Reverse Stock Split shares of the Companys common stock in registered book-entry form. AST will automatically mail each stockholder entitled to post-Reverse Stock Split shares of the Companys common stock a transaction statement and, for each stockholder entitled to a payment of cash in lieu of fraction shares, a check at their address of record as soon as practicable after the Effective Time indicating the number of shares of the Companys common stock currently held post-Reverse Stock Split.
As of the Effective Time, the Company will treat stockholders holding shares of the Companys common stock in street name (that is, through a broker, bank, or other holder of record) in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares of the Companys common stock are registered in their names. Brokers, banks, or other holders of record will effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding shares of the Companys common stock in street name.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the Companys outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Companys equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Altus Midstream LP (Altus Midstream), a proportional adjustment will also be made to Altus Midstreams outstanding common units.
After the Reverse Stock Split, the trading symbol for the Class A Common Stock will continue to be ALTM. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 02215L209.
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effective 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 30, 2020.
Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
As previously reported, the Company currently has until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance with the Nasdaqs minimum bid price requirement, and, to regain compliance, the Companys Class A Common Stock must have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. The principal reason for the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per share trading price of the Companys Class A Common Stock to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will have the desired effect of sufficiently raising the bid price of the Companys Class A Common Stock for the required period.
In addition, on June 29, 2020, the Company issued a press release relating to the matters described in this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
