Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
On November 22, 2023, Yoshiharu Global Co. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with Class A common Stock, “Common Stock”), in the ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) to be effective at 11:59 p.m. eastern on November 27, 2023. The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.
The Reverse Stock Split and the form of Certificate of Amendment were previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders (as noted below). The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 98740Y 302. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company and number of authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of the preferred stock of the Company were not changed.
The above description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
