Yext stockholders approved an amended equity incentive plan, which authorizes 4.5 million new shares for future grants. This represents a potential dilution of approximately 4.8% based on current outstanding shares. Additionally, up to 20.4 million shares may be recycled into the plan from awards under the previous plan that expire or are forfeited. While dilutive, such plans are standard for attracting and retaining talent.
