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

On July 16, 2020, SCYNEXIS, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation  (the “Amendment”), which will, effective at 12:01 am on Friday, July 17, 2020, (a) implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the SCYNEXIS’s common stock and (b) decrease the number of authorized shares of SCYNEXIS’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.

The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of SCYNEXIS’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The reverse stock split will affect all shares of SCYNEXIS’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under SCYNEXIS’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof.

SCYNEXIS’s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on July 17, 2020. The new CUSIP number for SCYNEXIS’s common stock following the reverse stock split is 811292 200.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
