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.

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and related entities have updated their ownership disclosure for BlackBerry Ltd. In Amendment No. 15 to their Schedule 13D, they report aggregate beneficial ownership by V. Prem Watsa and affiliated companies of 26,264,199 common shares, representing 4.5% of BlackBerry’s outstanding stock.

As of May 4, 2026, each reporting person states that they ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of BlackBerry shares, moving the Fairfax group below the major-shareholder reporting threshold.
