Analysis · MRAM · Manufacturing
Everspin Technologies has filed its definitive proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting on May 21, 2026. The most material proposal, Proposal 4, seeks shareholder approval to add 1,800,000 shares to the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. This represents a potential dilution of approximately 7.7% based on the 23,294,478 shares outstanding as of March 24, 2026. The company notes that the total potential dilution from all equity plans, including this new request and existing available shares, would be 23%.
