At a Special Meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders held on March 29, 2010, Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “Company”) stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio. Of the 73,463,233 shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, 64,083,307 shares of common stock were voted as follows:

Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at the 1-for-10 reverse split ratio.		63,762,724		311,142		9,441		—

On March 29, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (“Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effective as of the opening of trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

The primary objective of the reverse stock split is to maintain the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ Global Market by gaining compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum share price listing requirement.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Holders of common stock who, as a result of the reverse stock split, would otherwise have received a fractional share of common stock, are entitled to receive a cash amount equal to the proceeds attributable to the sale of such fractional shares of common stock following the aggregation and sale by the Company’s transfer agent of all fractional shares of common stock otherwise issuable.

Following the reverse stock split, the Company expects to have approximately 7,346,323 shares of common stock outstanding. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split.

Additional information about the reverse stock split is available in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2010.

The Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The press release announcing stockholder approval and implementation of the reverse stock split is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
