At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc.

The Amended Plan amended the existing 2018 Stock Incentive Plan to (1) increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grant under the Amended Plan by 300,000 to 1,784,250, (2) extend the termination date of the Amended Plan to July 19, 2029, (3) enhance aspects of the plan’s governance, such as applying the same restrictions to dividends paid on restricted stock awards and restricted stock units as the underlying award and limiting the shares that can be returned to the share reserve under the Amended Plan, (4) provide for administration by the Compensation Committee, and (5) update other administrative terms in the Plan.

 

A copy of the Amended Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 16, 2019, the stockholders voted on the matters described below.

 

1. The Company’s stockholders elected five directors, each to serve until the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. The number of shares that (a) voted for the election of each director and (b) withheld authority to vote for each director is summarized in the table below:

 

Director Nominee   Votes For     Votes Withheld  
Choi Lin Hung     5,966,072       1,779

Sean Socha     5,966,123       1,728  
Mak Chi Yan     5,966,423       1,428  

 

There were 446,842 broker non-votes with respect to the election of each director. Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares on a non-routine proposal.

 

2. The Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares that voted for, against, and abstained from voting for this proposal is summarized in the table below:
