NOTE 14—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At a special meeting of BIOLASE stockholders held on July 20, 2023 (the "special meeting"), BIOLASE stockholders approved an amendment to BIOLASE’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to effect a reverse stock split of BIOLASE common stock, at a ratio between one-for-two (1:2) and one-for-one hundred (1:100). Immediately after the special meeting, the Board approved a one-for-one hundred (1:100) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of BIOLASE common stock (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split”). On July 26, 2023, BIOLASE filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the 2023 Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on July 27, 2023. The amendment did not change the number of authorized shares of BIOLASE common stock. On July 20, 2023, the Series I Initial Redemption occurred and on July 27, 2023 the Series I Subsequent Redemption occurred. As a result, no shares of Series I Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
