Smart Sand's stockholders have approved two new equity plans: the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These approvals finalize proposals previously outlined in the April 22, 2026 proxy statement. The plans authorize the issuance of at least 5.4 million new shares, which represents a significant potential dilution of approximately 12.56% based on current outstanding shares. While such plans are standard for employee compensation and retention, the magnitude of authorized shares creates a notable overhang for existing shareholders, especially as the stock is trading near its 52-week high.
