Plug Power (PLUG) delays special meeting as proposals fall short

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Plug Power Inc. reconvened its special meeting of stockholders on February 5, 2026 to consider two proposals. Based on preliminary results, approximately 39.63% of outstanding common shares voted in favor of Proposal 1 and 49.40% voted in favor of Proposal 2, below the level needed for approval.

Because neither proposal received sufficient support, the company further adjourned the special meeting to allow more time to solicit proxies.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 5, 2026, Plug Power Inc. (the “Company”) reconvened its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, with respect to the following proposals:

1. The approval of an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to adjust the voting requirements for certain future amendments to align with Section 242(d)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Proposal 1”).

2. The approval of an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 1,500,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares (“Proposal 2”).

Based on the preliminary tabulation of votes received as of the reconvened meeting date, approximately 39.63% and 49.40% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock voted in favor of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, respectively. As the Company did not receive sufficient votes to approve Proposal 1 or Proposal 2, the Company further adjourned the Special Meeting to permit additional time to solicit proxies.

The Special Meeting is scheduled to reconvene at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. No other matters are expected to be presented for consideration at the adjourned Special Meeting other than the vote on Proposals 1 and 2.

Proxies previously submitted will continue to be valid for the adjourned Special Meeting unless properly revoked or changed in accordance with the procedures described in the definitive proxy statement.
