Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On February 16, 2010, HSW International, Inc. (the "Corporation") filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Corporation's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that effected a reverse stock split of the Corporation's Common Stock, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.1 and incorporated by reference herein.  Effective
February 16, 2010, (the "Effective Time"), each share of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, including those that were issued and outstanding at 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on February 10, 2010 (the "Record Date"), was automatically reclassified as and converted into one-tenth of a share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, the Corporation will notify its stockholders of record on the Record Date to transmit outstanding share certificates to the Corporation's exchange agent and registrar ("Exchange Agent"), and the Corporation will cause the Exchange Agent to issue new book entries representing
one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares transmitted and held of record on the Record Date.  In settlement of fractional interests that might arise as a result of such combination on the Record Date, the Corporation will cause the Exchange Agent to disburse to such holders a cash payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the closing sales price of the Corporation's Common Stock on the day of the Effective Time as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market by (ii) the
number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock held by a holder that would otherwise have been exchanged for a fractional share interest, as determined by the board.
Each stockholder's percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power remains unchanged after the reverse stock split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.
In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of the Company's capital stock was reduced accordingly by a ratio of one-for-ten.  Trading of HSW International's Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market will begin on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on February 17, 2010.  For
the 20-business day period following implementation of the reverse split, the company's ticker symbol will be "HSWID" to reflect the post-split price.  Following that period, the ticker symbol will revert to "HSWI."  The new CUSIP number for the Company's Common Stock is 40431N203.
The Company issued a press release on February 16, 2010 announcing the reverse stock split.  A copy of that press release is attached as an exhibit to this report.

governmental laws and regulations, including unclear and changing laws and regulations related to the internet sector in foreign countries, especially China; general industry conditions and competition; general economic conditions, such as interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; and restrictions on certain intellectual property under agreements with third parties.  For a more detailed discussion of such
risks and uncertainties, refer to HSW International's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements, and therefore should be carefully considered.
