Effects of the Reverse Split
Effective Date; Symbol; CUSIP Number. The Reverse Split will be effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 31, 2025, and will be reflected with the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and in the marketplace at the open of business on January 31, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis. In connection with the Reverse Split, the Company’s common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “FCUV” but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 34417J 203.
Split Adjustment; No Fractional Shares. On the Effective Date, the total number of the Company’s common shares held by each shareholder were converted automatically into the number of whole common shares equal to the number of issued and outstanding common shares held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Split, divided by ten (10). No fractional shares will be issued, and no cash or other consideration will be paid. Instead, the Company will issue one additional whole share of the post-Reverse Split to any shareholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split.
State Filing. The Reverse Split was effected by the Company filing the Certificate of Change pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on January 28, 2025. The Certificate is not effective until the Effective Date. Under Nevada law, no amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation is required in connection with the Reverse Split. A copy of the Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
No Shareholder Approval Required. Under Nevada law, because the Reverse Split was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with NRS Section 78.207, no shareholder approval was required. NRS Section 78.207 provides that the Company may effect the Reverse Split without shareholder approval if (x) both the number of authorized common shares and the number of outstanding common shares are proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Split; (y) the Reverse Split does not adversely affect any other class of shares of the Company; and (z) the Company does not pay money or issue scrip to shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split. As described herein, the Company has complied with these requirements.
Capitalization. Prior to the Effective Date of the Certificate, the Company was authorized to issue 150,000,000 common shares. As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 common shares (the Company’s authorized common shares were reduced in the same ratio (10-for-1) as its outstanding common shares were reduced). As of January 21, 2025 (immediately prior to the Effective Date), there were 74,019,505 common shares outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Split, there are approximately 7,401,951 common shares outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding fractional shares into whole shares). The Reverse Split will not have any effect on the stated par value of the common shares.
Each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remains virtually unchanged as a result of the Reverse Split, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of common shares will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Split.
All options, convertible securities, and warrants of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split will be appropriately adjusted by dividing the number of common shares into which the options, convertible securities, and warrants are exercisable or convertible by ten (10) and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by ten (10), as a result of the Reverse Split.
