As previously disclosed, on September 15, 2023, T2 Biosystems, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a reverse split ratio ranging from any whole number between and including 1-for-50 and 1-for-150, with the exact ratio to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Following the Annual Meeting, on October 10, 2023, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at the ratio of 1-for-100.
On October 12, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, and the Company’s Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at market open on October 13, 2023 under the existing symbol “TTOO” and new CUSIP number 89853L 302. The Amendment provides that each one hundred (100) shares of the Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Company were automatically reclassified and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled to multiplied by the closing trading price per share of the Common Stock (on a split-adjusted basis) on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 12, 2023.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
T2 BIOSYSTEMS, INC.
T2 Biosystems, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), does hereby certify as follows:
| FIRST: | That, the Board of Directors of the Company duly adopted resolutions by unanimous written consent in accordance with Sections 141(f) and 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, recommending and declaring advisable that the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company be amended and that such amendment be submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their consideration, as follows: |
RESOLVED, that the first sentence of Article FOURTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and/or restated to date, be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“That, effective on the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), a one-for-100 reverse stock split of the Corporation’s Common Stock shall become effective, pursuant to which each 100 shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Corporation (including treasury shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Effective Time and shall represent one share of Common Stock from and after the Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain at $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu thereof, (i) with respect to holders of one or more certificates which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon surrender after the Effective Time of such certificate or certificates, any holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (the “Fractional Share Payment”) equal to the fraction of which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split); provided that, whether or not fractional shares would be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined on the basis of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time formerly represented by certificates that the holder is at the time surrendering and (b) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificates shall have been reclassified; and (ii) with respect to holders of shares of Common Stock in book-entry form in the records of the Company’s transfer agent that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive the Fractional Share Payment automatically and without any action by the holder.
The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 410,000,000 shares consisting of (a) 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).”
| SECOND: | That, at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the aforesaid amendment was duly adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation. |
| THIRD: | That, the aforesaid amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its President and Chief Executive Officer on this twelfth day of October, 2023.
