Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As described in Item 5.07 below, on June 3, 2026, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of Upland Software, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Equity Plan Amendment”) to the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). On April 8, 2026, our Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee to the Board of Directors, approved the Equity Plan Amendment, subject to approval by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Equity Plan Amendment is effective as of June 3, 2026.
The Equity Plan Amendment increases the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan (including shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options) by 2,000,000 shares. The Equity Plan Amendment does not modify any other terms of the 2024 Plan. Unless terminated sooner or extended, the 2024 Plan expires June 5, 2034.
The material terms of the Equity Plan Amendment were described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the SEC on April 20, 2026. That detailed summary of the Equity Plan Amendment and any description contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Plan Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 3, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will effect the Reverse Split (as defined below). The Certificate of Amendment will become effective at 12:01 AM Eastern Time on June 17, 2026, prior to the opening of trading on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). As a result of the Reverse Split, every 10 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), issued and outstanding will be converted into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) equal to the fractional share of post-Reverse Split Common Stock to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the average of the closing sales price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split) on The Nasdaq Global Market during regular trading hours for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date the Certificate of Amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Reverse Split will not change the par value of the Common Stock or the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). All outstanding options, restricted stock awards, and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split, as required by the terms of each security. The Company has requested that the Company’s Common Stock begin trading on June 17, 2026, on a post-reverse split basis on the Nasdaq under the existing symbol “UPLD”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock will be 91544A208. The foregoing brief description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy were holders of 25,225,503 shares of Common Stock, including the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, representing 68% of the eligible votes, constituting a quorum.

5.To approve an amendment to the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 3,200,000 to 5,200,000 (the “Equity Plan Increase Proposal”);
6.To approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes in favor of the Reverse Split Proposal or the Equity Plan Increase Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
