Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) previously filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2020, as amended by the amendment filed on August 5, 2020, relating to the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2020, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). On April 28, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement, the rights issued thereunder expired. This Amendment to Form 8-A amends and supplements the information set forth in the Registration Statement and is being filed by the Company to deregister the Rights.
On May 11, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”), which, effective upon filing, eliminated from the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designations of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 30, 2020. The 296,000 shares of preferred stock previously designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were eliminated and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation. The Company’s stockholders are not required to take any action as a result of the expiration of the Rights Agreement. No shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at the time of filing of the Certificate of Elimination.
The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Certificate of Elimination. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Elimination, a copy of which is filed with this Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A as Exhibit 3.1.
