(the “Company”) approved the amendment (the “Amendment”) of the Company’s Amended & Restated 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (as so amended, the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), available under the Plan by 10 million shares. No other changes were made to the Plan. The Amendment became effective as of June 16, 2026. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 16, 2026, the Company held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to consider and vote on the following seven proposals, each of which is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026:
1.To elect two Class III directors (Tracey Edmonds and James Yaffe) to the Company’s Board of Directors;
2.To approve an amendment to the Plan, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under such plan by 10 million shares (the “Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal”);
3.To ratify the appointment of RSM US LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;
