Key Details

• Approval date: May 8, 2026; 8-K filed May 12, 2026.
• Change: Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan.
• Increase: 625,000 additional shares authorized for grant under the plan.

Why It Matters
Increasing the share reserve gives the company more stock awards to grant to employees, directors and consultants under its equity compensation program, which can help attract and retain talent. For investors, the change can lead to future share-based awards and therefore potential dilution of existing shareholders’ ownership; the filing provides the official amendment and reference materials so investors can review the plan terms.
