Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On May 4, 2015, 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 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

As disclosed in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on May 4, 2015 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders, by an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the matters, approved the Reverse Stock Split.

 

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 Certificate of Amendment will be effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on May 7, 2015, and commencing on May 8, 2015, trading of the Company’s common stock will continue on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis. The Company’s trading symbol will remain “BLIN.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 10807Q304.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On May 4, 2015, the Company held a Special Meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The final results for the matters submitted to the stockholders at the Special Meeting are as follows:

 

Proposal 1: To approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by a ratio of one-for-five.
