Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

On January 10, 2017, Neurotrope, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of change to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a one-for-thirty-two (32) reverse stock split of the Company’s shares of common stock. Such reverse stock split and ratio were previously approved by the Company’s board of directors.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every thirty-two (32) shares of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stock holders will not be affected by the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of common stock will receive an increase to their common stock as the common stock will be rounded up to a full share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In addition, the Company’s pre-reverse split 400,000,000 authorized shares of common stock was proportionately reduced to 12,500,000 authorized shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split became effective as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on January 11, 2017, and the Company’s common stock will trade on the OTC Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on January 12, 2017. The Company’s post-reverse split common stock has a new CUSIP number: 64129T207, but the par value and other terms of the common stock are not affected by the reverse stock split.

As a result of the reverse stock split, all options and warrants of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which the options and warrants are exercisable by 32 and multiplying the exercise price thereof by 32, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options and warrants.

Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the reverse stock split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts. Stockholders of the Company will be mailed a letter of transmittal to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates in connection with the reverse stock split.

 Under Nevada law, because the reverse stock split was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.207, no stockholder approval is required. Pursuant to NRS Section 78.207, the Company may effect the reverse stock split without stockholder approval if (i) both the number of authorized shares of the common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced as a result of the reverse stock split, (ii) the reverse stock split does not adversely affect any other class of stock of the Company and (iii) the Company does not pay money or issue scrip to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split. As described herein, the reverse stock split complies with these requirements.

On January 12, 2017, the Company issued a press release with respect to the reverse stock split, which is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the certificate of change to the articles of incorporation is being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
