  Charter amendment would raise authorized common stock from 15,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares; 10,384,698 shares were outstanding as of September 1, 2026, leaving roughly 89.6 million shares of issuance headroom.

• New 3.0 Million Share Equity Plan

  The 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan would replace the 2017 Employee and Directors Plans and authorize 3.0 million shares, with an automatic annual increase beginning fiscal 2028 equal to 3.5% of shares outstanding.

• Shareholder Vote December 8, 2026

  Annual meeting set for December 8, 2026 with a record date of October 19, 2026; the charter amendment, equity plan and auditor ratification all require majority approval of votes cast.

Trio-Tech's board is asking shareholders to raise authorized common stock from 15 million to 100 million shares and to create 10 million shares of blank check preferred stock. No shares are being issued now — this is permission, not dilution. But the scale matters: with 10,384,698 shares outstanding as of September 1, 2026, the company would have roughly 89.6 million shares of headroom, enough to multiply the current share count several times over if the board chooses to use it. Management ties the request to the new 2026 equity plan (3.0 million shares) and to keeping the existing shelf registration usable for future financings, acquisitions or investments. The blank check preferred is the sharper edge: it can be issued without a further shareholder vote, with terms the board sets alone, which could carry liquidation preferences or conversion rights senior to common holders. The board also flags the anti-takeover effect of the added authorized shares. Shareholders vote at the December 8, 2026 annual meeting; the record date is October 19, 2026.
