Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 16, 2025, Medpace Holdings, Inc. (the Company) held its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting). As further discussed below, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan (the Amended 2016 Plan). The Company’s Board of Directors had previously approved and adopted the Amended 2016 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The Amended 2016 Plan did not increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Award Plan (the Prior Plan). The main change from the Prior Plan was the extension of the expiration date to February 6, 2035.

For a description of the Amended 2016 Plan, see the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (File No. 000-37856), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2025.
