Analysis · BIRD · Technology
Shareholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan amendment and the issuance of shares exceeding 19.99% upon conversion of certain convertible notes. The equity plan increase adds 3.5 million shares to the authorized pool, and the convertible note conversion approval clears the way for potentially significant dilution. The vote also ratified BPM LLP as the company's independent auditor, formalizing the auditor change from Deloitte that was disclosed in July.
