BlackBerry Limited filings document material-event reports, operating results, governance actions, and shareholder matters for the Canadian software issuer listed on the NYSE and TSX under BB. The company’s Form 8-K disclosures regularly furnish quarterly and annual financial results, including segment information for QNX and Secure Communications, cash flow, revenue trends, margins, and related press-release exhibits.
BlackBerry’s filings also record corporate governance developments, including board appointments, executive departures, director independence statements, compensation arrangements, and annual shareholder meeting results. Voting disclosures cover director elections, auditor reappointment, equity incentive plan matters, and advisory executive compensation resolutions.
BlackBerry Limited is asking shareholders to vote at a virtual-only annual and special meeting on June 25, 2026. Items include electing seven directors, re-appointing PwC as auditor, renewing unallocated awards under the directors’ deferred share unit plan, and amending the employee share purchase plan.
The ESPP changes would raise the share reserve from 10,000,000 to 13,000,000 Common Shares and, starting with offering periods from October 1, 2026, let employees buy shares at 85% of the lower of the price at the start or end of the offering period. Shareholders will also cast advisory votes on executive compensation and on holding this “say on pay” vote every year, and will consider a shareholder proposal the Board recommends voting against.
The proxy highlights Fiscal 2026 results: software and services revenue of $527 million, adjusted EBITDA of $107 million, and corporate operating cash flow of $50 million. BlackBerry repurchased about $60 million of its Common Shares, and the stock outperformed the S&P Software & Services Select Industry index by 26% over the year.
BlackBerry Limited is renewing its normal course issuer bid share buyback program after receiving acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange. The renewed program authorizes repurchases of up to 26,785,714 common shares, about 4.58% of the public float as of April 30, 2026.
The buyback can be executed through the TSX, NYSE, other exchanges and alternative trading systems, and any shares repurchased will be cancelled. The program runs from May 12, 2026, until the earlier of May 11, 2027, an earlier date set by BlackBerry, or once the maximum authorized shares are repurchased.
As of April 30, 2026, BlackBerry had 586,061,407 common shares outstanding and had already repurchased 18,136,158 shares at a weighted average price of US$3.85 under the existing program. The company states it has strengthened its balance sheet in fiscal 2026 and expects meaningful positive operating cash flow during fiscal 2027, viewing selective buybacks as an attractive use of excess cash and a way to offset equity incentive plan dilution.
