On March 25, 2009, Lithium Technology Corporation (the Company) filed an Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to increase the number of authorized shares of the Companys common stock to 3,000,000,000 shares.
The amendment of the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the increase was approved by the Companys Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the Companys common stock. An information statement describing the amendment was mailed to stockholders on February 10, 2009 and became effective on March 2, 2009.
The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is needed in order for the Company to have an adequate reserve of common stock available for issuance upon conversion of existing convertible securities and exercise of outstanding options and warrants and to satisfy certain commitments to issue common stock.
