De-Staggering of Identiv’s Board of Directors
As previously announced, the Company is seeking stockholder approval to amend the Company’s charter to declassify the Board (the “Declassification Amendment”) at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. If the Declassification Amendment is approved and effected, the Class II nominees for director who are standing for election at the 2025 annual meeting will be elected for one-year terms, and the Board’s classified structure will end at the 2026 annual meeting, at which time all nominees for election as director will stand for one-year terms. If the Declassification Amendment is not approved and effected, the Board will remain classified.
In addition, as part of its ongoing governance review, the Board has approved an amendment to the Company’s corporate governance guidelines to provide that if a majority of the votes cast for a director are marked “against” or “withheld” in an uncontested election, the director must promptly tender his or her irrevocable resignation for the Board’s consideration.
