• Preferred Stock Authority Granted

  Stockholders approved giving the Board of Directors authority to fix the rights and preferences of preferred stock, enabling potential future dilutive capital raises. This follows the PRE 14A filing on January 9, 2026, which first proposed this 'blank check' authority.

• Equity Incentive Plan Adopted

  The 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, previously described as highly dilutive in the DEF 14A on January 20, 2026, was approved, allowing for the issuance of new shares to employees and directors.

• Anti-Takeover Provisions Opt-Out

  Stockholders approved opting out of Nevada statutes related to acquisitions of controlling interests and combinations with interested stockholders, potentially reducing defenses against takeovers.

• D&O Liability Limited

  Proposals to establish director and officer liability limitations and indemnification were approved, which may reduce accountability for fiduciaries.

The approval of these proposals, particularly the authority to issue preferred stock with unspecified rights and the new equity incentive plan, provides Verde Resources with significant flexibility to raise capital. Given the company's recent disclosure of declining revenue and increased cash burn, these authorizations are likely precursors to future dilutive financing activities. Additionally, stockholders approved opting out of certain Nevada anti-takeover statutes and establishing director and officer liability limitations and indemnification, which could impact corporate governance and shareholder protections.
