(e) REX American Resources Corporation 2026 Incentive Plan. On May 28, 2026, the shareholders of REX American Resources Corporation (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved the REX American Resources Corporation 2026 Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan is described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”), and is included as Exhibit 10(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement for restricted stock awards under the 2026 Plan is included as Exhibit 10(b) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
At the 2026 Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company adopted an amendment (the “2026 Amendment”) to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, increasing the authorized common stock of the Company from 45,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares. The 2026 Amendment became effective on June 1, 2026 when it was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The full text of the 2026 Amendment is included as Exhibit 3(i) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 28, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors restated the Company’s certificate of incorporation, to integrate into the certificate of incorporation all amendments (including the 2026 Amendment) then in effect and operative, as permitted by Section 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as so restated, the “Restated Certificate”). The Restated Certificate did not further amend the certificate of incorporation and, therefore, no further vote of the shareholders was required. The Restated Certificate became effective on June 2, 2026 when it was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Restated Certificate is included as Exhibit 3(ii) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
