Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     In connection with the equity investment made by Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in newly issued common stock, par value $0.001, of Care Investment Trust Inc. (the “Company”) at $9.00 per share and a cash tender offer by the Company for up to 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock also for $9.00 per share (the “Tiptree Transaction”), at the meeting on August 13, 2010, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “charter”) to reinstate section 7.2.1(a)(iii) effective 20 days after the consummation of the Tiptree Transaction, September 2, 2010. The amendment provides that: “Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, any Transfer of shares of Capital Stock (whether or not such Transfer is the result of a transaction entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if effective, would result in the Capital Stock being Beneficially Owned by less than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.” The amended articles are filed with this Report as Exhibit 3.1.
Item 8.01.   Other Events.
     On September 1, 2010, Care Investment Trust Inc. announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock split in the ratio of three-for-two to be effected in the form of a common stock dividend. Each shareholder of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2010 will receive a dividend equal to one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding share held on the record date. The dividend will be distributed to shareholders on September 20, 2010.
     The Company issued a press release to announce the stock split. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
     As previously announced on August 31, 2010, the Company received a letter dated August 27, 2010, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) stating that trading in the Company’s common stock would be suspended effective as of the close of trading on August 26, 2010 and that an application by the NYSE to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to delist the issue is pending completion of applicable NYSE procedures. The Company intends to appeal the NYSE staff’s decision.
     The Company’s shares are eligible for trading under the ticker “CVTR.” In order to facilitate trading in its stock during the pendency of the NYSE appeal process, the Company has applied for listing on the OTCQX listing platform. There can be no assurance that such application will be granted by the OTCQX. The Company will update stockholders of the outcome of the OTCQX application through the issuance of a future press release.
