ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by American Battery Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) on 26 October 2022 (the “Prior 8-K”), the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, change the name of the Company from BoxScore Brands, Inc. to “AMERICAN BATTERY MATERIALS, INC.”. As reported in the Prior 8-K, the name change would not be effective until FINRA completed its review and processing of the requested name change and ticker symbol change.
FINRA informed the Company on 28 April 2023 that it had completed processing the application for the name and ticker symbol change. The FINRA Daily List Announcement Date for the FINRA corporate action was 28 April 2023. The Market Effective Date was 01 May 2023. Our ticker symbol is now BLTH. Our CUSIP number remains the same as before and did not change as a result of this FINRA corporate action.
Following the name change, the stock certificates, which reflect our prior corporate name, will continue to be valid. Certificates reflecting the new corporate name will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to our transfer agent.
On 01 May 2023 the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the name change and the issuance of the new ticker symbol. A copy of the press release is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and the information in the press release is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
