Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 9, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, a reverse stock split, as described in Item 8.01 below.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8‑K. The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 3, 2018, the Board of Directors of InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved a 1‑for‑25 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) such that, following the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock shall be reduced from 100,000,000 to 4,000,000. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at the effective time set forth in the Certificate of Change to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Change”).  The Company expects to file the Certificate of Change following the completion of certain related administrative processes, which the Company expects to be on or about April 13, 2018,  and anticipates that the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will be on or about 5:00 pm New York time on April 16, 2018. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and all shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon the Reverse Stock Split to a given stockholder shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the Reverse Stock Split would result in the issuance of a fractional share. Pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company’s Board of Directors may take action to effect the Reverse Stock Split by filing a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada without the consent of the Company’s stockholders.
