Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On January 28, 2025, Bitech Technologies Corporation, now known as Bimergen Energy Corporation (the “Registrant”), filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Certificate to Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 140 pre-split shares (the “Reverse Split”); and (ii) to change the name of the Registrant to Bimergen Energy Corporation (the “Name Change”).
As previously reported, on October 9, 2024, a majority of the Registrant’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Charter to effect a reverse split of the Common Stock at a range between one-for-two (1:2) and one-for-one hundred sixty (1:160), with such ratio as the Board of Directors of the Registrant (the “Board”) may determine. On or about January 17, 2025, the Board approved the ratio of the Reverse Split of 1 for 140. The Name Change was approved by the unanimous written consent of the Board in accordance with Sections 141(f) and Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and as such, no shareholder approval of the Name Change is required.
Aa a result of the Reverse Split, every 140 shares of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. The Reverse Split will not change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-140 reverse stock split. Following the Reverse Split, the number of shares of the Registrant’s outstanding Common Stock will be reduced from approximately 714,411,833 shares to approximately 5,104,000 shares. Fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share in connection with the split.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
