Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 13, 2026, at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Azio AI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Azio AI Holdings, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”), which the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) previously approved on July 2, 2026, subject to stockholder approval. As a result, the 2026 Plan became effective immediately upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
A summary of the material terms of the 2026 Plan is set forth under the heading “Proposal 6: Approval of the Azio AI Holdings, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan” contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 9, 2026, as supplemented by the supplement filed with the SEC on November 6, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). Any employees (including executive officers), directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2026 Plan. The foregoing description of the 2026 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2026 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Appendix E to the Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On November 13, 2026, the Company reconvened and held the Annual Meeting, which was originally convened on November 2, 2026, and adjourned to November 13, 2026, due to a lack of quorum. As of the close of business on September 10, 2026, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 17,357,848 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding, each of which entitled the holder to one vote on each matter brought before the Annual Meeting. Holders of 9,401,687.72 shares of Common Stock (representing 54.2% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date) were present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting on November 13, 2026, constituting a quorum. The proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the Proxy Statement.
As described in further detail below, each of Proposals 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 was approved by the Company’s stockholders. In accordance with the approval of Proposal 7, the Annual Meeting was adjourned with respect to only Proposal 4, which concerns the approval, in accordance with Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Proposal”), because the Company’s initial listing application required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a) has not yet been approved. The polls on the Conversion Proposal were not closed at the Annual Meeting, and the Annual Meeting will be reconvened only with respect to the Conversion Proposal on December 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time (the “Adjourned Annual Meeting”), as a virtual meeting at HTTPS://EDGE.MEDIA-SERVER.COM/MMC/GO/AZIO2026AGM.
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on the Conversion Proposal at the Adjourned Annual Meeting remains the close of business on September 10, 2026. Stockholders may cast their votes on the Conversion Proposal by visiting https://www.iproxydirect.com/aazio before the Adjourned Annual Meeting or HTTPS://EDGE.MEDIA-SERVER.COM/MMC/GO/AZIO2026AGM during the Adjourned Annual Meeting. Stockholders of the Company who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote on the Conversion Proposal do not need to take any action. During the period of the adjournment, the Company will continue to solicit votes from its stockholders with respect to the Conversion Proposal for the Adjourned Annual Meeting.
The Company encourages all stockholders of record who have not yet voted on the Conversion Proposal to do so by December 3, 2026, at 8:59 p.m., Pacific Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any votes on the Conversion Proposal that are properly received before the close of voting at the Adjourned Annual Meeting on December 4, 2026, will be accepted.
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company voted on Proposals 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 as described in the Proxy Statement. The results for each such matter voted on by the stockholders during the Annual Meeting are set forth below:
