| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On January 29, 2026, Plug Power Inc. (the “Company”) held its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted upon the following matters:
| 1. | The approval of an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to adjust the voting requirements for certain future amendments to align with Section 242(d)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Proposal 1”). |
| 2. | The approval of an amendment to the Company’s Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 1,500,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares (“Proposal 2”). |
| 3. | The approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes for the approval of Proposal 1 or Proposal 2 (“Proposal 3”). |
Holders of the Company’s common stock were entitled to one vote per share on each proposal.
Present at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, were holders of 732,799,970 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 12, 2025 (the “Record Date”), representing at least one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, which constituted a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting.
