Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 3, 2025, Getty Images Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors set the date for the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for September 8, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”) and the Record Date for July 14, 2025. The Annual Meeting will be conducted in a virtual format and held for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting (i) is more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting, the deadlines for any stockholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are no longer applicable and (ii) is more than 70 days following such anniversary date, the deadlines for any stockholder nomination or proposal outside of Rule 14a-8 are no longer applicable, in each case as such deadlines are listed in the Company's 2024 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 24, 2024. The Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals via this Form 8-K.
In accordance with the rules of the SEC and the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (“A&R By-Laws”), any stockholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting under Rule 14a-8 must be received by the Company's Corporate Secretary at Getty Images Holdings, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 605 5th Avenue S., Seattle, Washington 98104 on or before the close of business on June 22, 2025, which the Company determined to be a reasonable time before it plans to publish and send proxy materials.
Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s A&R By-Laws, because the 2025 Annual Meeting is more than 70 days following the anniversary date of Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals submitted outside of Rule 14a-8, including any proposal nominating a candidate for election to the Company’s board of directors, must be received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date that the Company publicly announced the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, such proposals and nominations for the 2025 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary no later than June 16, 2025, in accordance with the specific procedural requirements set forth in the Company’s A&R By-Laws.
In addition to complying with these deadlines, stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting must comply with all of the applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act and the A&R By-Laws.
