Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 1, 2018, SG Blocks, Inc. (the “ Company ”) held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “ Annual Meeting ”). As further described in Item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved Amendment No. 1 (the “ Amendment ”) to the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “ Plan ”) to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,000,000 shares.

 

A copy of the Amendment, as proposed at the Annual Meeting, was included as Appendix A to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2018. The terms and conditions of the Plan and information pertaining to certain participants in the Plan are described in detail in the Proxy Statement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Neal Kaufman was not nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting and, therefore, effective as of the Annual Meeting, he completed his term of office as a director of the Company. Mr. Kaufman’s decision not to stand for re-election as a director was not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, and the Board of Directors expressed its gratitude for his service. In connection with Mr. Kaufman’s stepping down from his director role, the size of the Board of Directors was reduced to seven directors effective immediately after the Annual Meeting.

 

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

 

On June 1, 2018, the Company held its Annual Meeting, at which there were 3,077,746 shares of common stock present, in person or by proxy, representing approximately 72.2% of the 4,260,041 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders: (1) elected Paul M. Galvin, Balan R. Ayyar, Yaniv Blumenfeld, Sean McAvoy, Christopher Melton, A. Richard Moore, Jr. and Mahesh S. Shetty to serve as directors of the Company, until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; (2) approved Amendment No. 1 to the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan; (3) ratified the appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2018; (4) approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and (5) approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, an annual frequency for the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

 

The voting results for each proposal were as follows:

Accordingly, the next stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation is expected to be held at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
