Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 28, 2023, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Metro One
Telecommunications, Inc. (the "Company"), executed a written consent in lieu of
a special meeting (the "Written Consent") approving the form of an amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio to be determined
by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") within the range of 1-for-25
to 1-for-100 (the "Reverse Stock Split") and to reduce the Company's total
authorized shares of Common Stock from 600,000,000 shares to 35,000,000 shares
(the "Proposed Charter Amendment"). The Proposed Charter Amendment was
unanimously approved by the Board on February 23, 2023, subject to approval by
the stockholders, which was obtained as described above.
The Reverse Stock Split and the reduction of the Company's total authorized
number of shares of Common Stock will be effectuated within the next 12 months.
The Reverse Stock Split will not become effective until it has been processed
and approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). In the
event that FINRA does not approve the Reverse Stock Split, the Board may
determine, in its sole discretion, not to effect the Reverse Stock Split nor
file the Proposed Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware.
The effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will be the date and time the
Proposed Charter Amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware or such later time as is specified therein; provided, however, that in
no event will the Reverse Stock Split become effective until it has been
processed and approved by FINRA. The exact timing of the Reverse Stock Split
will be determined by the Board at a later date based on its evaluation as to
when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and its
stockholders, and the effective date will be publicly announced by the Company.
The Board will also determine the exact ratio and terms of the Reverse Stock
Split at a later date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reverse Stock Split
will be effectuated within the next 12 months; provided, however, that the
Reverse Stock Split and the reduction of the Company's total authorized number
of shares of Common Stock may be delayed or abandoned without further action by
the stockholders at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Proposed Charter
Amendment if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders to delay or abandon such
actions.
Pursuant to Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended,
the Company mailed, on or about February 28, 2023, a notice of such action taken
by the Written Consent to the Company's stockholders that did not consent to
such Written Consent.
