Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 19, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rare Earths Americas, Inc. (the “Company”) established November 12, 2026 as the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). The Board has fixed the close of business on September 21, 2026 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
The 2026 Annual Meeting will be held as a virtual meeting exclusively online via a live webcast. The time of the 2026 Annual Meeting, as well as the details regarding how stockholders can access, participate in, and vote at the virtual meeting, will be set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Because the 2026 Annual Meeting will be the Company’s first annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is establishing the deadlines for submitting stockholder proposals and director nominations.
Rule 14a-8 Stockholder Proposals
To be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholder proposals must be received in writing by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices no later than the close of business on September 4, 2026, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials. All such proposals must also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and Other Business
In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), because there has been no prior annual meeting, any shareholder who intends to nominate a person for election as a director or submit a proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting must provide written notice to the Company’s Secretary no earlier than the close of business on July 15, 2026 (the 120th day before the meeting) and no later than the close of business on August 29, 2026. This August 29, 2026 deadline represents the later of the 90th day before the meeting (August 14, 2026) and the 10th day following the day on which this public announcement of the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is first made. Such notice must comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.14 and Section 2.15 of the Bylaws.
Universal Proxy Rules
In addition to complying with the deadline and other requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, any stockholder intending to solicit proxies at the 2026 Annual Meeting in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act must provide written notice to the Company's Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on August 29, 2026. Such notice must include the information required by Rule 14a-19 and the Company's Bylaws.
