Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On September 17, 2024, Markforged Holding Corporation (the “Company”), filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 19, 2024 (the “Effective Time”), and an associated proportional reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue from 1,000,000,000 to 100,000,000 (the “Authorized Capital Change”). On September 19, 2024, the Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 57064N201. The Common Stock continues to trade under the symbol “MKFG”.
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 18, 2024, the Company’s stockholders granted the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) the discretion to effect (i) a reverse stock split at a ratio ranging from 1-for-5 to 1-for-10, inclusive, with such ratio and the timing of the reverse stock split to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion (but in no event later than December 31, 2024) and (ii) the Authorized Capital Change. Subsequently, on August 13, 2024, the Board approved the Reverse Split and the Authorized Capital Change.
As a result of the Reverse Split, every ten (10) shares of the Common Stock as of the Effective Time automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, but without any change in the par value per share. Pursuant to the Authorized Capital Change, the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue was reduced from 1,000,000,000 to 100,000,000. Immediately following the Effective Time, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was proportionally reduced from approximately 203 million to approximately 20.3 million, subject to adjustment to give effect to the treatment of any fractional shares that stockholders would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split, and stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fractional share received an additional fraction of a share such that they own a whole number of shares of Common Stock post-Reverse Split.
In connection with effectuating the Reverse Split, proportional adjustments were also made to the number of shares of Common Stock awarded and available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Additionally, all outstanding warrants were adjusted in accordance with their terms, which, among other changes to the warrant terms, resulted in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants and to the exercise and redemption prices of such warrants. Specifically, as a result of the Reverse Split, every ten (10) shares of Common Stock purchasable pre-Reverse Split pursuant to the exercise of public warrants now represents one (1) share of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants. Accordingly, for the Company’s warrants trading under the symbol “MKFG WS”, every ten (10) warrants exercisable pre-Reverse Split are now exercisable for one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115.00 per share of Common Stock.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), the Company’s transfer agent, acted as the exchange agent for the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split affected all stockholders uniformly, except that no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split, and stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fractional share received an additional fraction of a share such that they own a whole number of shares of Common Stock post-Reverse Split. Stockholders of record owning their shares in book-entry will be receiving a transaction statement from Continental regarding their Common Stock ownership post-Reverse Split and are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, subject to the holding entity’s particular processes; such stockholders are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than Continental for processing the Reverse Split. If a stockholder holds shares of Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee for more information.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
