Kartoon Studios Sets 2026 Annual Meeting Date; Stockholder Deadlines

What Happened

• Kartoon Studios, Inc. (TOON) announced on Aug 5, 2026 that its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on October 21, 2026. Because the meeting date is more than 30 and 60 days after the anniversary of the 2025 meeting, previously disclosed deadlines no longer apply.
• The Board set an updated deadline of 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 16, 2026 for stockholders to submit proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials under Rule 14a-8, to submit director nominations, or to provide notice under Rule 14a-19 (Universal Proxy). The same Aug 16, 2026 deadline applies for other stockholder proposals or nominations under the Company’s amended Bylaws.
• Notices and proposal materials must be delivered to: Corporate Secretary, Kartoon Studios, Inc., 190 North Canon Drive, Floor 4, Beverly Hills, California 90210. The Company will include more information in its definitive proxy statement; any adjournment or postponement of the meeting will not extend these deadlines.

Key Details

• Annual Meeting date: October 21, 2026.
• Board action date: August 5, 2026.
• Submission deadline for proposals/nominations: August 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PT.
• Acceptable submissions include Rule 14a-8 proposals, director nominations, and Rule 14a-19 (Universal Proxy) notices; addressed to the Corporate Secretary at the Beverly Hills address above.

Why It Matters

• Investors or activist shareholders who want to place proposals in the Company’s proxy materials or nominate directors must meet the new Aug 16, 2026 deadline—missing it will generally prevent inclusion in the proxy statement.
• The reset of deadlines (due to the meeting’s timing relative to last year’s meeting) is a procedural but material change for anyone planning to engage with the company’s governance at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
• The Company will file a definitive proxy statement with additional details ahead of the meeting.
