ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On January 14, 2020, Cardax, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 200-for-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Reverse Stock Split will be effective at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 15, 2020. The Certificate of Amendment did not change the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company, the par value of the Common Stock, or any other terms of the Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in the Reverse Stock Split and any remaining share fractions will be rounded up to the next whole share. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is a summary only, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under the terms and conditions of the outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities of the Company, the number of underlying shares of Common Stock and the exercise prices or conversion prices thereof will be proportionately adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
