Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 20, 2026, Rocket One Inc. (formerly, Hoth Therapeutics, Inc.) (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change the name of the Company from “Hoth Therapeutics, Inc.” to “Rocket One Inc.” effective as of May 26, 2026 (the “Name Change”).
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.390(8), no stockholder approval was required for the Charter Amendment because it only related to a name change. A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the Name Change, the Company’s trading symbol for its common stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on May 28, 2026 under the symbol “RKTO” (the “Symbol Change”).
Neither the Name Change, nor the Symbol Change, affects the rights of the Company’s shareholders, and shareholders do not need to take any action in connection with the Name Change or the Symbol Change. The CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock will remain 44148G204.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the Name Change and Symbol Change. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
