ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

 

On December 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of Granite City Food & Brewery Ltd. (the “Company”) approved a one for six share combination of its common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), to be effective at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 13, 2010 (the “Record Date”).  As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every six shares of the Company’s common stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Record Date will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share without any change in the par value of such shares, and the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock will be proportionally reduced.  A proportionate adjustment also will be made to the Company’s outstanding derivative securities.  No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.  Shareholders who are entitled to fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of receiving fractional shares.

 

ITEM 5.03        AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
