Harmonic Inc. has filed an amendment to its definitive proxy statement, significantly reducing the number of shares proposed to be added to its 2025 Equity Incentive Plan from 7,000,000 to 3,000,000. This reduction of 4,000,000 shares lessens the potential future dilution for existing shareholders. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that shares used to cover exercise prices or tax withholding obligations for awards under the plan will not be returned to the plan for future grants, which is a less dilutive approach than if they were recycled.
