Item 3.03. Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant
As previously reported, Amaze Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Amaze Software, Inc. (“Amaze Software”) on March 7, 2025, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 7, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Amaze Software became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) the aggregate merger consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition included 750,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), plus warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”).
The stockholder’s ability to convert Series D Preferred Stock is subject to an “Exchange Share Cap” and an “Individual Holder Share Cap.” Under the Exchange Share Cap, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock may not exceed 3,325,966 shares, which represents 19.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Merger Agreement. Under the Individual Holder Share Cap, the holder of Series D Preferred Stock may not acquire shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the converting holder would result in such holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance.
The Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap will not apply if the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue the shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable cap as required by the NYSE American rules. NYSE American rules also require a listed company to obtain stockholder approval prior to an issuance of securities that will result in a “change of control” of the company. Upon such stockholder approval, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into an aggregate of 93,750,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Series D Preferred Stock. As of June 11, 2025, the Company had 18,574,180 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and upon automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, the total number of outstanding shares of common stock increased to 112,324,180 (before the reverse stock split). As a result, pre-merger Amaze Software securityholders own approximately 83.5% of the outstanding Common Stock and pre-merger Company stockholders own approximately 16.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
As reported below in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the annual meeting held on June 12, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and the exercise of warrants, which will exceed the “Exchange Share Cap” and “Individual Holder Share Cap” limitations, and result in a change of control of the Company, pursuant NYSE American rules.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, officers and directors of the Company and holders of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and holders of approximately 83% of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to vote, at any stockholders’ meeting, all of their respective shares of capital stock, among other things, (a) in favor of the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the “Exchange Share Cap” and “Individual Holder Share Cap” limitations upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Merger Warrants; and (b) for the election of the Company’s director nominees.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As reported below in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the annual meeting held on June 12, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”) to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by 19,000,000 shares (or 826,087 shares after taking into account the Company’s 1-for-23 reverse stock split effected on June 12, 2025 as reported below in Item 5.03).
The terms and conditions of the Plan are described in the section entitled “PROPOSAL 9 EQUITY PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2025 (as supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”). The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in
On June 2, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a 1-for-23 reverse stock split of the Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval of the reverse stock split proposal at the annual meeting. As reported below in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the annual meeting held on June 12, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the reverse stock split proposal which grants the Company’s Board the discretion to file a certificate of amendment to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 and 1-for-50, with such ratio and implementation and timing of the reverse stock split to be determined at the discretion of the Board.
On June 12, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect the 1-for-23 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 12, 2025. The Company’s Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split adjusted basis on the NYSE American when the market opens on June 13, 2025 under the new CUSIP number 35804X 200.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every twenty-three shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be automatically combined into one new share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fraction of a share resulting from the reverse stock split will be converted to one whole share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or change the par value per share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan will be reduced proportionately. The conversion rate of the Company’s outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock will be proportionately adjusted. The reverse stock split will not alter a stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described above.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders who hold their shares of Common Stock in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the reverse stock split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.
The foregoing description of the Certificate Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
