Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On February 20, 2026, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") filed a certificate of amendment ("Certificate of Amendment") providing for an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended ("Certificate of Incorporation"), to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-5 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As provided in the Certificate of Amendment, the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time on February 20, 2026. As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2026, the Reverse Stock Split ratio and filing of the Certificate of Amendment were approved by the Company's Board of Directors on February 11, 2026 after having received the requisite stockholder approval at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders on October 16, 2025.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 5 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company issued an additional whole share to all holders who would otherwise receive a fractional share of common stock. Except for adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares, each stockholder holds the same percentage of the Company's outstanding common stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of Company common stock authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, will remain unchanged at 1,500,000,000 shares.

The Company's common stock will begin trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on NYSE American at the market open on February 23, 2026. The trading symbol for the common stock will remain "NBY." The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 66987P 508.

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
