Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
 
On March 23, 2023, Creative Realities, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota to effectuate, effective March 27, 2023, a one-for-three reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on March 27, 2023.
 
As a result of the reverse stock split, effective as of 12:01 am on March 27, 2023, every three shares of common stock then-issued and outstanding will be automatically combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares will be outstanding following the reverse stock split and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split, the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance will be reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 66,666,666 shares in proportion to the reverse stock split.
 
A copy of the Articles of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Effective as of the same time as the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans will be reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split. Upon effectiveness, the reverse stock split will also result in reductions in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of equity awards in proportion to the reverse stock split and cause a proportionate increase in exercise price or share-based performance criteria, if any, applicable to such awards.
 
Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On March 24, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing reverse stock split, which press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Exhibit 3.1

 

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF CREATIVE REALITIES, INC.

 

The Undersigned, Chief Financial Officer of Creative Realities, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the following Articles of Amendment have been duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors pursuant to Section 302A.402, Subd. 3 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the “Act”):

 

1. The name of the Corporation is: Creative Realities, Inc.

 

2. The first paragraph of Article 3 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and/or restated, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

 

Article 3

 

Authorized Shares:  The total authorized shares of all classes that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 250,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share (hereinafter the "preferred shares"); and 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (hereinafter the "common shares"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of the later of (i) 12:01 am on March 27, 2023 or (ii) the filing of these Articles of Amendment (the “Reverse Split Effective Time”), the total authorized shares of all classes that the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall be reduced to 116,666,666 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 preferred shares; and 66,666,666 common shares.

 

3. Article 3 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and/or restated, is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph “D” as follows:

 

D. Effective upon the Reverse Split Effective Time, the issued and outstanding common stock of the Corporation shall be combined on a 1-for-3 basis such that, at the Effective Time, every three shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be combined into one share of common stock. This share combination will be effected through the exchange and replacement of certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the Effective Time, together with immediate book-entry adjustments to the stock register of the Corporation maintained in accordance with the Act. In the event that the share combination would result in a shareholder being entitled to receive less than a full share of common stock, the fractional share that would so result shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. The par value of each share of issued and outstanding common stock shall not be affected by the share combination.

 

4.         These Articles of Amendment were adopted pursuant to the Act.

 

In Witness Whereof, the undersigned has set his hand as of March 22, 2023.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Creative Realities Announces 1-for-3 Reverse Stock Split

Effective March 27, 2023

 

LOUISVILLE, KY March 24, 2022 – Creative Realities, Inc. ("Creative Realities," "CRI," or the "company") (NASDAQ: CREX, CREXW), a leading provider of digital signage solutions, announced today that effective at 12:01 am on Monday, March 27, 2023, the Company will effect a one-for-three reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “CREX” and is expected to open for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Monday, March 27, 2023 on a post-split basis.

 

The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement to maintain the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every three shares of issued and outstanding common stock at the close of business on Friday, March 24, 2023 automatically will be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share.

 

In connection with the reverse stock split, the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance will be reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 66,666,666 in proportion to the reverse stock split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional share of a shareholder resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation programs and all outstanding equity-based awards. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or vesting of equity-based awards and correspondingly increase any applicable exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.

 

Shareholders holding share certificates will receive information from Computershare, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders holding shares in book entry at Computershare will receive updated account statements showing their shares on a post-split basis. Shareholders with questions may contact Computershare at (800) 368-5948 (US, Canada, Puerto Rico) or (781) 575-4223 (international).
