Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On July 1, 2025, Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to remove Section 1 of Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation, which prohibited stockholder action by written consent without a stockholder meeting. The Amendment became effective on July 1, 2025.
As more fully described herein, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amendment at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 27, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”). As a result of the Amendment, stockholders will be permitted to act by written consent to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment. A copy of the Amendment is being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company voted on four proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, 2025, as supplemented by the supplement to the Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on June 16, 2025. There were 200,729,097 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), present at the Annual Meeting, online or by proxy, which constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals:
| 1. | To elect two Class I directors of the Company, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified; |
| 2. | To ratify the appointment of Frank, Rimerman +Co. LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; |
| 3. | To approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of Common Stock at a ratio, ranging from one-for-five (1:5) to one-for-fifty (1:50), with the exact ratio to be set within that range at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) without further approval or authorization of the Company’s stockholders; and |
| 4. | To approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, to allow stockholders to act by written consent. |
