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

Effective August 5, 2021, AiAdvertising, Inc. (f/k/a CloudCommerce, Inc.) (the “Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger, whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”) was merged into the Company (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased.

As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company’s name from “CloudCommerce, Inc.” to “AiAdvertising, Inc.” On August 3, 2021, the Company filed articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which were effective August 5, 2021, to effect the Merger, and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company’s corporate name (the “Name Change”).

In connection with the foregoing, the Company filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, requesting confirmation of the Name Change and also to request the change of the Company’s ticker symbol from “CLWD” to “AIAD” (the “Symbol Change”).

The Name Change and Symbol Change do not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders. The Company’s securities will continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets.

The foregoing information is a summary of each of the matters described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Merger attached as Exhibit 3.01.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 6, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Name Change and Symbol Change. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
