Item 5.08     Shareholder Director Nominations.

 

2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

 

On June 29, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), established Thursday, September 17, 2020 as the date for the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board also established the close of business on July 29, 2020 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The time and location of the Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, to be filed prior to the Annual Meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

 

Because the Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the Company’s last annual meeting of stockholders, the deadlines for stockholder proposals and director nominations for consideration at the Annual Meeting set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on December 10, 2019 no longer apply. If a stockholder of the Company intends to nominate a person for election to the Board or to propose other business for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including any proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the deadline for submitting the notice of such nomination or stockholder proposal, including any notice on Schedule 14N, is the close of business on July 23, 2020. Any notice should be delivered to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc., 265 Turner Drive, Durango, Colorado 81303, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination received after July 23, 2020 will be considered untimely and will not be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting nor will it be considered at the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must also comply with the requirements of Delaware law, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, as applicable.
