Item 5.07
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 6, 2020, CHF Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).  At the Special Meeting, the stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the  “Certificate of Incorporation” ), to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-thirty, to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board” ).

On October 10, 2020 following the Special Meeting, the Board approved a one-for-thirty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  On October 16, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 16, 2020, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on October 19, 2020.

When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every thirty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (and such shares held in treasury) will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock and exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded down to the next whole share and the stockholder will receive cash equal to the market value of the factional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CHFS.” The new CUSIP number for common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 12542Q 870.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.

For more information about the Reverse Stock Split, see the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about September 11, 2020, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is CHF Solutions, Inc. and the date on which the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was September 20, 2011 (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”);

THIRD: The Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by deleting the Paragraph A of ARTICLE IV in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

“The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock”. The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is One Hundred Forty Million (140,000,000) shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

FOURTH: Pursuant to a resolution of Board of Directors of the Corporation, this Certificate of Amendment was submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval and was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the DGCL.

FIFTH: This Certificate of Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall have an Effective Time of October 16, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
