Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 24, 2021, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), which will, effective at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 26, 2021, implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the reverse stock split, each ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined and converted into one share of Common Stock.  The Amendment stock will not change in the par value per share or the total number of authorized shares.

The reverse stock split will affect all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities (including the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.

No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. No certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all certificates that otherwise would represent fractional shares shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

The Common Stock will begin trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on March 26, 2021. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the reverse stock split is 378989206.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.Other Events. 

On March 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the reverse stock split.  The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
