CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED

OF
BIOXCEL THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 

BIOXCEL THERAPEUTICS, INC. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify that:

 

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. and the date on which the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was March 7, 2018 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”);

 

SECOND: The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted resolutions proposing and declaring advisable that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended as set forth herein and calling for the consideration and approval thereof at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation;

 

THIRD: The Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by deleting the Section 4.2(d) of ARTICLE FOURTH in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

 

“Stock Split. Upon the filing and effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”) each outstanding share (including shares held in treasury) of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Old Common Stock”) shall be automatically combined, reclassified and converted into 16 shares of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”). This stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not affect the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue, which shall remain as set forth in the first sentence of this ARTICLE FOURTH. The reverse split of the Old Common Stock effected by the foregoing paragraph shall be referred to herein as the “Reverse Split.” The Reverse Split shall occur without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holders of shares of Old Common Stock or New Common Stock and whether or not certificates representing such holders’ shares prior to the Reverse Split are surrendered for cancellation. No fractional interest in a share of New Common Stock shall be deliverable upon the Reverse Split. Stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive any fractional interests in the New Common Stock, in lieu of receipt of such fractional interest, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the fair value of such fractional interest as of the Effective Time. Except where the context otherwise requires, all references to “Common Stock” in this Certificate of Incorporation shall be to the New Common Stock. The Reverse Split will be effected on a stockholder-by-stockholder (as opposed to certificate-by-certificate) basis. Certificates or book-entries dated as of a date prior to the Effective Time representing outstanding shares of Old Common Stock shall, immediately after the Effective Time, represent a number of shares equal to the same number of shares of New Common Stock as is reflected on the face of such certificates or book entries, divided by 16 and rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Corporation may, but shall not be obliged to, issue new certificates evidencing the shares of New Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split unless and until the certificates evidencing the shares held by a holder prior to the Reverse Split are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Every share number, dollar amount and other provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation have been adjusted for the Reverse Split, and there shall be no further adjustments made to such share numbers, dollar amounts or other provisions, except in the case of any stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and the like occurring after the Effective Time.”

 

FOURTH: Pursuant to a resolution of Board of Directors of the Corporation, this Certificate of Amendment was submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval, and was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the DGCL.

 

FIFTH: This Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation shall have an Effective Time of February 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer on this 6th day of February, 2025.
