Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF TG THERAPEUTICS, INC.
TG Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify:
FIRST: That on April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted resolutions setting forth a proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and declaring its advisability. The proposed amendment is as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation be amended by deleting Article FOURTH in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“FOURTH: A. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock,” respectively. The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is 175,000,000, and each such share will have a par value of $0.001. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is 10,000,000, and each such share will have a par value of $0.001.
B. No fractional shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be issued. No stockholder of the Corporation shall transfer any fractional shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not recognize on its stock record books any purported transfer of any fractional share of Common Stock of the Corporation.
C. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, by adopting appropriate resolutions and causing one or more certificates of amendment to be signed, verified and delivered in accordance with the General Corporation Law, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series, and to fix the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each such series. Such designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations may include, but are not limited to, the fixing or alteration of the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of shares of Preferred Stock, or any of them. In accordance with the authority hereby granted, the Board of Directors may increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, but not above the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock and not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. Except as may otherwise be required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, the terms of any series of Preferred Stock may be amended without the consent of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, or Common Stock.
SECOND: That said amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this certificate to be signed by a duly authorized officer this 16th day of June, 2021.
