The Approved Split will be effective at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5:00 p.m</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. (eastern time) on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June&#160;7, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;(the &#8220;Effective Time&#8221;).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the Approved Split, the Charter Amendments provide that, among other things, at the Effective Time, every four shares of the Company&#8217;s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, without any change in par value per share.  As a result of the Approved Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of  Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding would be reduced from approximately 48 million shares to approximately 12 million shares, and the number of shares of our Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding would be reduced from approximately 14 million shares to approximately 3.5 million shares, respectively.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Approved Split is &#8220; 957541204.&#8221;  As a result of the Approved Split, holders of &#8220;old&#8221; Common Stock prior to the Effective Time have the right to receive &#8220;new&#8221; shares of Common Stock at the ratio of one share of &#8220;new&#8221; Common Stock for every four shares of &#8220;old&#8221; Common Stock.  No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Approved Split.  Instead, holders of &#8220;old&#8221; shares of Common Stock who otherwise would have received fractional shares will receive an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional shares based on the average of the closing prices (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) of our Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other primary trading market for the Class A Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Effective Time.  Each stockholder&#8217;s percentage ownership interest in the Company and the proportional voting power remain unchanged in connection with the Approved Split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the effect of fractional interests.  The rights and privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are unaffected by the Approved Split.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The foregoing summary of the Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:482px;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:65px;"></td><td style="width:417px;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item&#160;5.07.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Special Meeting of Stockholders (the &#8220;Special Meeting&#8221;) of the Company was held on </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">May&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Item 5.03.
AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
On
May 30, 2017
,  Westell Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") at which the Company's stockholders  approved the proposal and granted authorization to the Board of Directors (the "Board") to to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the " Charter Amendments ") to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock  issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share  (collectively, the "Common Stock") at a ratio of
1-for-4
with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, in its sole discretion (the "Reverse Split Proposal").
On
May 30, 2017
, following stockholder approval of the Reverse Split Proposal, the Board approved a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of
1-for-4
(the "Approved Split") and proceeded to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Charter Amendments to affect the Approved Split.  The Approved Split will be effective at
5:00 p.m
. (eastern time) on
June 7, 2017
(the "Effective Time").
In connection with the Approved Split, the Charter Amendments provide that, among other things, at the Effective Time, every four shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, without any change in par value per share.  As a result of the Approved Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of  Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding would be reduced from approximately 48 million shares to approximately 12 million shares, and the number of shares of our Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding would be reduced from approximately 14 million shares to approximately 3.5 million shares, respectively.
The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Approved Split is " 957541204."  As a result of the Approved Split, holders of "old" Common Stock prior to the Effective Time have the right to receive "new" shares of Common Stock at the ratio of one share of "new" Common Stock for every four shares of "old" Common Stock.  No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Approved Split.  Instead, holders of "old" shares of Common Stock who otherwise would have received fractional shares will receive an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional shares based on the average of the closing prices (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) of our Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other primary trading market for the Class A Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Effective Time.  Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and the proportional voting power remain unchanged in connection with the Approved Split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the effect of fractional interests.  The rights and privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are unaffected by the Approved Split.
The foregoing summary of the Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
