Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the
information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined herein) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current
Report”) is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
in Fiscal Year.
As previously announced, at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of Expion360 Inc. (the “Company”), held on September 27, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), the stockholders
of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio between 1-for-50 and 1-for-100
at any time within one year after stockholder approval is obtained, with the timing of the filing of the Amendment, and the exact reverse
stock split ratio, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
On September 27, 2024, following the 2024 Annual Meeting,
the Board determined to implement the reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a 1-for-100 ratio (the “Reverse Stock Split”)
and approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) of the Articles of Incorporation of
the Company to effect the Reverse Stock Split.
On October 4, 2024, the Certificate of Amendment to
effect the Reverse Stock Split was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 5:00
p.m. Pacific Time on October 8, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). The Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital
Market under the symbol “XPON” and will begin trading on a post-split basis when the market opens on October 9, 2024. At the
Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 100 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined
into one share of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with no change to the par value of $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common
Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and instead each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to
receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional
share. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s equity
awards, warrants and non-plan options outstanding as of the Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, and a corresponding increase in
the respective exercise prices, conversion prices, reset prices and the like thereunder. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders
uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Common Stock, except for adjustments that may result from
the treatment of fractional shares.
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 7, 2024, the Company
issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
