Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations.
The Board has established May 15, 2025 as the date of the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). The Company will publish additional details regarding the time, location, record date and matters to be voted on at the 2025 Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is providing notice of the deadlines for submission of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and for any nomination for election to the Board or a proposal of business (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act), in each case, with respect to the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, in order for a nomination for election to the Board or a proposal of business (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) to be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting, a stockholder must deliver proper notice to our Corporate Secretary (AST SpaceMobile, Inc., Midland Intl. Air & Space Port, 2901 Enterprise Lane, Midland, Texas 79706, Attn: Corporate Secretary) no later than the close of business on February 14, 2025. In addition to satisfying the requirements of the Bylaws, to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2025 Annual Meeting must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.
Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting, the previously announced deadline for stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act is no longer applicable. Under the new deadline set by the Company, any stockholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the Company’s principal executive offices at the address set forth above, on or before the close of business on February 14, 2025, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting.
