Vivakor, Inc. (VIVK) filed an 8-K reporting results of its June 30, 2026 annual meeting. A quorum was present (3,350,087 votes cast out of 4,779,302 outstanding).

Key Details

• Quorum and turnout: 3,350,087 votes cast of 4,779,302 outstanding shares.
• Directors elected (votes for / % voted for): James Ballengee 2,652,690 (93.84%); John Harris 2,660,656 (94.12%); Albert Johnson 2,660,998 (94.14%); Michael Thompson 2,672,570 (94.54%).

• Non-binding advisory “say-on-pay” passed; a Plan Amendment and an Amended 2025 Equity and Incentive Plan exhibit were included with the filing. The company also attached press releases regarding the crude oil transaction and an adjusted dividend date for Adapti Shares.

Why It Matters
These votes finalize board composition and authorize corporate actions that affect the company’s capital structure. The approved reverse stock split will change the company’s share count on a per-share basis (details of the split ratio and timing are in the proxy materials). Approval of multiple stock issuances and an amended equity plan means the company is authorized to issue additional shares as described in the proxy, which investors should view as potential sources of dilution. The announced recurring crude oil transaction (June 25 press release) is an operational update the company deemed material enough to disclose under Regulation FD.
