Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
GENPREX, INC.
Genprex, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation duly organized and validly existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);
DOES HEREBY CERTIFY AS FOLLOWS:
FIRST: That the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as heretofore amended, the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) is hereby amended as follows:
Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation be and hereby is amended by adding the following after the first paragraph of Section A of Article IV:
“Upon the effectiveness (“Effective Time”) of this amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, a one-for-forty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s Common Stock shall become effective, pursuant to which each forty (40) shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Company or held in treasury by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Old Common Stock”) shall automatically, and without any action by the holder thereof, be reclassified and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (“New Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional interests as described below and with no corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Old Common Stock and all references to such Old Common Stock in agreements, arrangements, documents and plans relating thereto or any option or right to purchase or acquire shares of Old Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to the New Common Stock or options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of New Common stock, as the case may be, after giving effect to the Reverse Split.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. If, upon aggregating all of the Common Stock held by a holder of Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Split a holder of Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall issue to such holder such fractions of a share of Common Stock as are necessary to round the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder up to the nearest whole share.
Each holder of record of a certificate or certificates for one or more shares of the Old Common Stock shall be entitled to receive as soon as practicable, upon surrender of such certificate, a certificate or certificates representing the largest whole number of shares of New Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraphs. Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of New Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified, subject to adjustment for fractional shares as described above.”
SECOND: That the amendment set forth in this Certificate of Amendment was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.
THIRD: That said amendment will have an Effective Time of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 2, 2024.
[Signature Page Follows]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this Certificate of Amendment on this 31st day of January, 2024.

Exhibit 99.1
Genprex Announces 1-for-40 Reverse Stock Split Effective February 2, 2024
AUSTIN, Texas — (Jan. 31, 2024) — Genprex, Inc. (“Genprex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced that on February 2, 2024, the Company will implement a 1-for-40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The reverse stock split will be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on February 2, 2024, and the Company’s common stock will trade on a post-split adjusted basis at the beginning of trading on the same date under the existing trading symbol “GNPX.” The CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 372446-203.
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved implementation of the reverse stock split upon the authorization granted by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on December 14, 2023, whereby the Company’s stockholders granted the Company’s Board the discretion to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than one-for-ten (1:10) and not more than one-for-fifty (1:50), with such ratio to be determined by the Board. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s common stock to regain compliance with the minimum bid continued listing requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market. All outstanding securities entitling their holders to purchase shares of common stock or acquire shares of common stock of the Company, including stock options and warrants, will be adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split, as required by the terms of those securities.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every 40 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will automatically be entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will not change the par value of the common stock or modify the rights or preferences of the common stock. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, the Company will have approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The reverse split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse split would result in some stockholders owning a fractional share as described above. The Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will continue to maintain the book-entry records for the Company’s common stock. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such broker’s particular processes and procedures; if you hold your shares with such a broker, bank trust or other nominee and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.
About Genprex, Inc.
Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its systemic, non-viral Oncoprex® Nanoparticle Delivery System which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. The Company’s lead product candidate, Reqorsa® Immunogene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in three clinical trials as a treatment for NSCLC and SCLC. Each of Genprex’s three lung cancer clinical programs has received a Fast Track Designation from the FDA for the treatment of that patient population, and Genprex’s SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex’s diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an AAV vector to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of Type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-003 for Type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.
