Approval of Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and Amended and Restated 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 27, 2025, Box, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan by 5,000,000 shares (as amended, the “Amended 2015 Plan”), and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 6,000,000 shares (as amended, the “Amended ESPP”).

The material terms of the Amended 2015 Plan and the Amended ESPP are set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”).

The descriptions of the Amended 2015 Plan and the Amended ESPP are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Amended 2015 Plan and the Amended ESPP, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.03

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to limit the liability of certain officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. This amendment reflects updated Delaware law provisions permitting officer exculpation.

As a result, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 27, 2025, which became effective upon filing.

The material terms of the Charter Amendment are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2025. A copy of the Charter Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.07

The Class A common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock voted together as a single class.

Present at the Annual Meeting virtually or by proxy were holders of shares of Class A common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock representing an aggregate of 136,834,791 votes, or 83.75% of the voting power of all issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date, constituting a quorum.
