Item 3.03 Material
Modification to 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 5.03 Amendments
to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
As previously reported,
at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) held on April 8, 2022, stockholders
holding more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved a proposed amendment to the Articles of Organization authorizing
the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio to be determined by the
Board within a stated range of 1:1.5 to 1:3.
On the basis of such
approval, the Board decided to proceed with the reverse split at a ratio of 1:3 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company filed
Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 24, 2022. Under that filing, the Reverse Stock
Split was to become effective after the close of business on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Due to unanticipated delays in obtaining necessary
trading clearances, however, the Company on October 26, 2022 made a further Articles of Amendment filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth
to override the earlier amendment and thus avoid the reverse split taking effect later that day.
Having received appropriate
indications on October 27, 2022 that the necessary trading clearances would be forthcoming, the Company then set a new effective date
of the Reverse Stock Split for 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 (the “Revised Effective Time”) and filed
additional Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth accordingly on October 27, 2022.
As a result of the Reverse
Stock Split, every three shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock at the Revised Effective Time were automatically combined into
one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a
result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders that would have otherwise received fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of the
fractional shares at the average closing price per share of the Common Stock as reported for the last five trading days before the Reverse
Stock Split became effective. The Reverse Stock Split reduces the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 16,915,089 shares
to approximately 5,638,302 shares, after reduction for the elimination of fractional shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock
authorized under the Articles of Organization remains unchanged, at 50,000,000 shares.
Proportionate adjustments
will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options
previously granted by the Company, and to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s
existing 2011, 2021, and 2022 Equity Incentive Plans.
The Common Stock began
trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the OTCQB on November 2, 2022, that being the day after the Revised Effective Time.
The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is: 740294400.
The information set forth
herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the described Articles of Amendment, copies of which are filed
with this report as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2.
