Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 19, 2018, Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples”) filed a definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Peoples to be held on April 26, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”), which Proxy Statement was mailed on or about March 23, 2018 to all shareholders of Peoples entitled to vote their common shares at the Annual Meeting. On April 6, 2018, Peoples is filing a Supplement to the Proxy Statement (the “Supplement”) with the SEC under a Schedule 14A Information cover page as “Definitive Additional Materials.” The Supplement serves to amend the Proxy Statement in order to (i) add information regarding modifications by Peoples’ Board of Director to the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “Third A&R Plan”) to reduce the additional number of common shares that Peoples is requesting its shareholders approve for issuance under the Third A&R Plan from 800,000 additional common shares down to 500,000 additional common shares; (ii) modify the applicable disclosures within the section of the Proxy Statement captioned “PROPOSAL NUMBER 4: APPROVAL OF THE PEOPLES BANCORP INC. THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 EQUITY PLAN” describing the Third A&R Plan, in order to reflect the modifications of the Third A&R Plan by Peoples’ Board of Directors; and (iii) correct ministerial errors in the number of Peoples common shares reported in column (a) and column (c) of the Equity Compensation Plan Information as of December 31, 2017 table (and the footnotes to those columns) included on page 88 of the Proxy Statement.
A copy of the Third A&R Plan, as modified by Peoples’ Board of Directors and proposed for approval by Peoples’ shareholders at the Annual Meeting, is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and a copy of the Supplement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
