Intended to Facilitate a Reverse Stock Split, if Necessary
PHOENIX, Aug. 26, 2022 — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES, “SenesTech” or the “Company”) (www.senestech.com), the rodent fertility control experts and inventors of the only EPA registered contraceptive for male and female rats, ContraPest®, today announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of newly designated Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for each outstanding share of SenesTech common stock held of record on September 5, 2022. The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as a single class exclusively with respect to any proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to reclassify the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into a smaller number of shares of such common stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of any such amendment, as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matter, and will not be entitled to vote on any other matter, except to the extent required under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Subject to certain limitations, each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock will have 1,000,000 votes per share (or 1,000 votes per one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Stock).
All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the above described amendment proposal as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls at such meeting will automatically be redeemed by the Company for $0.001 in cash. Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock that have not been so redeemed will automatically be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day established by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion and (ii) the first business day following the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to reclassify the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into a smaller number of shares of such common stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of any such amendment.
The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted resolutions providing that the Series C Preferred Stock will be uncertificated. The certificate of designation governing Series C Preferred Stock provides that shares of Series C Preferred Stock may not be transferred except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of the Company’s common stock held by such holder. In that case, a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of SenesTech’s common stock to be transferred by such holder will be transferred to the transferee of such shares of common stock.
Further details regarding the Series C Preferred Stock will be contained in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by SenesTech with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company also intends to file a notice of special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and a preliminary proxy statement to consider the approval of a reverse stock split described herein, if necessary.
