Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 17, 2024, at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Huntington), Huntington’s shareholders approved the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan provides for grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units, long-term performance awards and other stock-based awards. The 2024 Plan reserves for issuance of a maximum of 38,800,000 shares of Huntington’s common stock. The board of directors approved the 2024 Plan subject to shareholder approval. Shareholder approval was obtained in order to comply with the applicable requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Shareholder approval is also necessary under the federal income tax rules with respect to the qualification of incentive stock options. Additional details about the 2024 Plan are set forth in Huntington’s definitive Proxy Statement filed on March 7, 2024.
