## Key facts
- Governance Changes
  PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC.: Filed Articles of Amendment to effect a 1:3 reverse stock split of Common Stock, with effective date set to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2022, after prior delays and re-filings (effective 2022-11-01).
  - Change: charter amendment
  - Effective: 2022-11-01
  source text: The Company filed Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 24, 2022. Under that filing, the Reverse Stock Split was to become effective after the close of business on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Due to unanticipated delays in obtaining necessary trading clearances, however, the Company on October 26, 2022 made a further Articles of Amendment filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth to override the earlier amendment and thus avoid the reverse split taking effect later that day. Having received appropriate indications on October 27, 2022 that the necessary trading clearances would be forthcoming, the Company then set a new effective date of the Reverse Stock Split for 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 (the “Revised Effective Time”) and filed additional Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of the Commonwealth accordingly on October 27, 2022.
