Item 5.03 |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On March 7, 2024, Canoo Inc.
(the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Second
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-23
reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, effective as of 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on March 8, 2024 (the “Effective
Time”), every 23 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, including shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury
shares, will be automatically combined into one share of Common Stock. As of March 7, 2024, the Company had 1,309,580,844 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding. The Company’s stockholders of record will receive a cash payment (without interest) in lieu of any
fractional shares they would have otherwise been entitled to receive in the Reverse Stock Split.
The Common Stock is expected
to begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on March 8, 2024. The Common Stock will
continue trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GOEV” with a new CUSIP number (13803R201). The Company’s
publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GOEVW” and the CUSIP number
for the public warrants will remain unchanged. However, under the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be proportionately decreased. Specifically, following effectiveness of the Reverse Stock
Split, every 23 shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of public warrants will represent one share of Common
Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. Accordingly, for the Company’s warrants trading under the symbol “GOEVW”,
every 23 warrants will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $264.50 per share of Common Stock.
As of the Effective Time,
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and issuable pursuant to
equity awards immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be proportionately adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split. The exercise prices
of the Company’s outstanding options and equity awards will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms.
The Reverse Stock Split will
affect all record holders of the Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any record holder’s percentage ownership interest in
the Company, except for de minimis changes as a result of the elimination of fractional shares. Holders of Common Stock who hold in “street
name” in their brokerage accounts do not have to take any action as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Their accounts
will be automatically adjusted to reflect the number of shares owned.
The foregoing description
of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO THE
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
CANOO INC.
Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware
Canoo Inc., a corporation organized
and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify that:
1. Pursuant to Section
242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), this Certificate of Amendment (this “Certificate
of Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as heretofore amended, the
“Certificate of Incorporation”) amends the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
2. The Board of Directors
of the Corporation has duly adopted resolutions approving and declaring the following amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to
be advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.
3. Part A of Article IV
of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“The Company is authorized to issue two
classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total
number of shares which the Company is authorized to issue is 2,010,000,000 shares. 2,000,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, each having
a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001). 10,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth
of one cent ($0.0001).
Upon the effectiveness of the filing of this Certificate
of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Effective Time”),
every 23 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Company in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,
automatically and without any further action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, be combined into one (1) validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), subject to the treatment of fractional
share interests as described below. No fractional shares shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, and, in lieu thereof,
the Company’s transfer agent for the registered holders of shares of Common Stock shall aggregate all fractional shares of Common
Stock and arrange for them to be sold on behalf of such holders whose shares of Common Stock otherwise would have been combined into a
fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, after completing the sale, such holders will receive a cash payment from
the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata share of the total net proceeds of such sale. Any stock certificate
that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter,
automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which
the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional
share interests as provided above.”
4. The foregoing amendment
was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and its stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of
the DGCL and Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation.
5. This Certificate of
Amendment shall become effective as of 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 8, 2024.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Canoo Inc.
has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed by the undersigned duly authorized officer on this 7th day of March, 2024.
