Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On July 31, 2023, Crimson Wine Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that restricts certain transfers of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The Charter Amendment is intended to preserve certain tax benefits of the Company’s net operating losses for long-term stockholder value. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Charter Amendment’s transfer restrictions would restrict the transfer of shares of Common Stock if such transfer would result in either increasing a person’s ownership of shares of Common Stock from less than 5% to 5% or more of shares of Common Stock, or, with respect to persons who own 5% or more of shares of Common Stock, increasing the percentage of shares of Common Stock that such person owns. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of the Charter Amendment would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee, and the purported transferee would not be recognized as the owner of the shares of Common Stock attempted to be owned in violation of the Charter Amendment for any purpose, including for purposes of voting and receiving dividends or other distributions in respect of such shares.
The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
