Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Everspin Technologies, Inc. (“Everspin”) adopted an amendment and restatement of the Everspin Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2016 Plan”), and submitted the Amended 2016 Plan for stockholder approval at Everspin’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 21, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”). The stockholders of Everspin approved the Amended 2016 Plan at the Annual Meeting.
The Amended 2016 Plan amended and restated the Everspin Technologies, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and/or restated, the “2016 Plan”). The key differences between the terms of the 2016 Plan and the Amended 2016 Plan are as follows:
•The Amended 2016 Plan provides that an additional 1,800,000 shares may be issued pursuant to stock awards granted under the Amended 2016 Plan.
•The Amended 2016 Plan provides that the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options under the Amended 2016 Plan is a number of shares equal to three multiplied by the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended 2016 Plan.
•The Amended 2016 Plan explicitly prohibits (i) the reduction of the exercise or strike price of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights and (ii) the cancellation of underwater stock options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash or other stock awards under the Amended 2016 Plan, without the prior approval of the stockholders.
The material terms of the Amended 2016 Plan are further described in Everspin’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”) under the caption “Proposal 4: Approval of Amendment and Restatement of Everspin Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan,” which description is incorporated herein by reference.
The descriptions of the Amended 2016 Plan contained herein and in the Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended 2016 Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
