What Happened

• JOINT Corp (JYNT) filed an 8‑K on January 9, 2026 disclosing a Letter Agreement dated January 5, 2026 with Bandera Partners LLC and Jefferson Gramm. Under the agreement, JOINT agreed to include Mr. Gramm in its slate of director nominees for the 2026 Annual Meeting and to recommend that shareholders vote for his election. The agreement also contains voting commitments, standstill obligations and restrictions on transfers of the common stock held by Bandera.

Key Details

• Parties: JOINT Corp, Bandera Partners LLC and Jefferson Gramm; Letter Agreement dated January 5, 2026.
• Nominee: Jefferson Gramm to be included in JOINT’s slate for the 2026 Annual Meeting.
• Term: Agreement remains in effect until the earlier of (i) 30 days before the deadline to deliver director nomination notices for the 2027 Annual Meeting or (ii) January 21, 2027 (the “Termination Date”).
• Provisions: Includes voting commitments by Bandera, standstill obligations, and transfer restrictions on Bandera’s JOINT common stock until the Termination Date.

Why It Matters

• The agreement formalizes a settlement with an activist investor that adds an outsider nominee to the board slate while imposing limits on Bandera’s ability to act or sell shares in the near term. For investors, this may affect board composition, governance oversight and future strategy discussions without an immediate change in ownership or control. Watch for proxy materials and the 2026 Annual Meeting for additional details and voting outcomes.
