On January 19, 2023, Sientra, Inc. (the "Company") effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). by the filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the "Certificate") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 19, 2023. The Company anticipates that the Common Stock will begin to trade on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis as of the opening of the Nasdaq Global Market on January 23, 2023.

On January 12, 2023, the Company held its Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio ranging from 1-for-5 up to a ratio of 1-for-15, such ratio and the implementation and timing of such Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Following the Special Meeting on January 18, 2023, the Company's Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-10 shares.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 10 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified into one new share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of Common Stock. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise or conversion prices and the number of shares underlying the Company's outstanding equity awards, convertible securities and warrants, as well as to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company's equity incentive plans. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value of the Common Stock.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split are entitled to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing trading price per share of the common stock (as adjusted for the reverse stock split) on the Nasdaq Global Market on the trading day immediately preceding the effective time of the reverse stock split.

The foregoing descriptions of the Certificate does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
