Plug Power Inc. Adjourns Special Meeting to Solicit Votes on Charter Amendments
What Happened
Plug Power Inc. announced results from its special meeting held Jan 29, 2026 and adjourned the meeting to Feb 5, 2026 to allow additional proxy solicitation for two proposed amendments to its certificate of incorporation. Stockholders of record as of Dec 12, 2025 were represented by 732,799,970 shares (quorum). The proposals voted on were: (1) change voting requirements to align with Delaware law Section 242(d)(2); (2) increase authorized common shares from 1,500,000,000 to 3,000,000,000; and (3) adjourn the meeting to solicit more votes. The adjournment (Proposal 3) passed; the company will reconvene Feb 5, 2026 and is hosting an investor Q&A townhall on Feb 2, 2026.

Why It Matters
The company is seeking shareholder approval to double its authorized common shares, which, if approved in the future, would give the company the ability to issue more shares (a potential source of dilution or future financing flexibility). The proposed change to charter voting requirements affects how future charter amendments would be approved under Delaware law. The adjournment delays final outcomes until Feb 5, 2026 and gives management time to solicit additional proxies; investors should watch the reconvened vote and any follow‑up disclosures for final approvals and potential impacts on share count and governance.
