Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
The stockholders of Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) held on June 13, 2023. The ESPP was previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
The objective of the ESPP is to offer eligible employees and consultants of the Company and its designated subsidiaries the ability to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount, subject to various limitations under the ESPP. The Board believes that the ESPP will promote broad-based ownership of the Company’s common stock by eligible employees and consultants and will help to align the interests of ESPP participants with those of the Company’s stockholders. The ESPP will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Administrator”).
The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be authorized for issuance under the ESPP is 5,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment. The shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares from any other proper source.
The ESPP is divided into two components: the “423 Component” and the “Non-423 Component.” The 423 Component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Non-423 Component is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. Employees eligible to participate in the 423 Component of the ESPP for a given offering generally include all employees who are employed by the Company or one of its designated subsidiaries for that offering, subject to limitations that may be imposed under the ESPP consistent with Section 423 of the Code. The Administrator will determine which employees and consultants of designated subsidiaries will be eligible to participate in the Non-423 Component of the ESPP for a given offering. In any case, participation in the ESPP is voluntary and dependent on each eligible employee’s (or consultant’s) election to participate, as well as the level of payroll deductions elected by each participant.
Participants will be granted the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount during a series of successive offerings. Unless and until otherwise determined by the Administrator, each offering period will be a six-month period beginning on the first day of a calendar quarter and ending on the last day of the next succeeding calendar quarter. However, in no event may any single offering period be longer than 27 months. The purchase price for each offering will be established by the Administrator, provided that in no event will the purchase price established by the Administrator for any offering be less than the lower of (i) 85% of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period, or (ii) 85% of the closing price per share on the exercise date, which will occur on the last trading day of each offering period.
A summary of the ESPP is included in Proposal 4 of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), which summary is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. The summaries of the ESPP contained herein and in the Proxy Statement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the ESPP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
The Company held its Annual Meeting on June 13, 2023. At the close of business on April 25, 2023, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 57,550,326 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding, each share being entitled to one vote and to be voted together as one class vote at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, there were present in person or by proxy 45,029,723 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing stockholders entitled to cast approximately 78.24% of the total outstanding eligible votes and constituting a quorum. As of the Record Date, 1,111,111 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock and 555,555 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, were held by Network Medical Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and therefore, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, such shares of preferred stock were not voted, nor counted for quorum purposes, at the Annual Meeting.
Set forth below are the voting results for the four proposals considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting, all of which were described in the Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023:
