Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On October 2, 2024, Lam Research Corporation (the “Company”) filed an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a ten-for-one forward split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), without any change to its par value. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 400,000,000 to 4,000,000,000. Pursuant to Section 242(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, stockholder approval was not required in connection with the foregoing.
The Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 2, 2024. Trading in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market is expected to commence on a Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on October 3, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “LRCX.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Stock Split is 512807306.
As a result of the Stock Split, every one (1) share of Common Stock issued and outstanding was automatically divided into ten (10) shares of Common Stock. The Stock Split does not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the Common Stock. Proportionate adjustments were automatically made to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as exercise or conversion prices, as applicable.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
