Analysis · FUBO · Trade & Services
FuboTV has filed its definitive proxy statement for its annual meeting, seeking shareholder approval for a substantial increase of 7,000,000 shares to its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. This proposed increase represents approximately 6.45% potential dilution relative to current outstanding shares, and the total plan could represent 13.57% potential dilution if all authorized shares were issued. While dilutive, the company states this is crucial for attracting and retaining talent, especially following its recent business combination with Hulu + Live TV and improved financial performance. Shareholders will also vote on removing special voting requirements for the removal of Hulu-designated directors, a governance change that streamlines board processes given Disney's majority ownership.
