Supplement to the Proxy Statement for
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held on December 4, 2020
This proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”), dated November 3, 2020, supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) of eGain Corporation (“eGain” or the “Company”) dated October 27, 2020 and made available to stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of eGain to be held on December 4, 2020. Except as specifically supplemented by the information contained in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares.
On October 27, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to its bylaws to, among others, require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter for stockholder votes, consistent with Section 216 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Proxy Statement inadvertently did not reflect this amendment to the Company’s bylaws. The purpose of this supplement is to update and correct the required voting threshold specific in following paragraphs of the Proxy Statement:
| 1. | The voting threshold specified for proposals other than the election of directors under the heading “Proxy Statement” and the treatment of broker non-votes on page 1 of the Proxy Statement is corrected to read as follows: |
“Other proposals submitted for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting will be decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions with respect to any proposal are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that proposal and thus have the same effect as negative votes. If a broker which is the record holder of shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal as to such shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to a particular proposal, these non-voted shares will be counted for quorum purposes but are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted at the Annual Meeting, other than Proposal 7, assuming a quorum is obtained.”
| 2. | “Proposal 2—Confirmation of Approval and Ratification of the 2014 and 2019 Amendments to the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan—Required Vote” on page 25 of the Proxy Statement is corrected to read as follows: |
“Confirmation of approval and ratification of the amendment to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the virtual Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such proposal. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” approval of the amendment and restatement of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.”
| 3. | “Proposal 3—Confirmation of Approval and Ratification of the 2014 Amendments to the Amended and Restated 2005 Management Stock Option Plan—Required Vote” on page 29 of the Proxy Statement is corrected to read as follows: |
“Confirmation of approval and ratification of the 2005 Management Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the virtual Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such
proposal. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” approval of the 2005 Management Plan.”
| 4. | “Proposal 4—Confirmation of Approval and Ratification of the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan—Required Vote” on page 32 of the Proxy Statement is corrected to read as follows: |
“Confirmation of approval and ratification of the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of present at the virtual Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such proposal.”
| 5. | “Proposal 7—Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm—Required Vote” on page 35 of the Proxy Statement is corrected to read as follows: |
“Ratification will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the virtual Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such proposal. In the event ratification is not provided, the Board of Directors will review its future selection of eGain’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm but will not be required to select a different Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.”
In addition, certain typographical errors were included in the version of the proxy card that was filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) together with the Company’s definitive proxy statement on October 27, 2020. The version of the proxy card distributed to the Company’s stockholders is correct. The corrected version of the proxy card is attached.
