Absci Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Absci Corporation (ABSI) filed an 8-K reporting results from its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 4, 2026. As of the April 7, 2026 record date, 155,447,428 shares were outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholders elected Prof Sir Menelas Pangalos, Ph.D., and Daniel Rabinovitsj as Class II directors (terms through the 2029 annual meeting) and ratified Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

Why It Matters

• The voted results confirm the board composition (two Class II directors through 2029) and maintain Ernst & Young as Absci’s independent auditor for 2026—both governance items investors track for oversight and financial reporting continuity. The presence of substantial broker non-votes (29.9M) may reflect shares held by brokers or institutional voting instructions and can affect the tally of contested items.
