Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

 

Envoy Medical, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) will hold its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 3:00 p.m., Central time, at Delta Hotels Minneapolis Northeast, 1330 Industrial Blvd NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota. All holders of record of our common stock outstanding as of the close of business on September 16, 2024 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Company will provide additional details regarding the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

 

For director nominations or stockholder proposals to be considered properly brought before the Annual Meeting, written notice must be received by our corporate secretary by September 16, 2024, which is the date that is 10 days after the announcement of the Annual Meeting date. If we do not receive notice by the foregoing date, as applicable, then such notice will be considered untimely. In addition to timing requirements, the advance notice provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain informational content requirements that also must be met. A copy of the Company’s Bylaws has been filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Commission on April 1, 2024, or can be obtained by contacting the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address above.

 

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, the Company has set a deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals or director nominations submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 and the Bylaws, a stockholder intending to present a proposal to be included in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting or to nominate candidates for election as directors at the Annual Meeting must deliver such proposal or director nomination in writing to the Company’s principal executive offices at Envoy Medical, Inc., 4875 White Bear Parkway, White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary prior to September 20, 2024, which date the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to mail its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the processes and procedures outlined in the Bylaws and must also comply with the requirements of Delaware law and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, as applicable.
