Item 5.03      Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
.
The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
"
Certificate of Amendment"
), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-five reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock (the "
Reverse Stock Split"
) with an effective date of July 24, 2017.
As disclosed in Item 5.07 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2017, at the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders held on June 29, 2017, the Company's stockholders, by an affirmative vote on the matters, approved an Amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock by a ratio of up to one-for-five by July 31, 2017. Thus, on June 29, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to set forth the Certificate of Amendment to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split by a ratio of one-for-five shares.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every five shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will have such fractional share rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Reverse Stock Split will be effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 24, 2017, and will begin trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on July 25, 2017. The Company's trading symbol will remain "BLIN." The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 10807Q403.
