Zeo Energy Corp. gab die Ergebnisse seiner Jahreshauptversammlung bekannt, die am 5. August 2025 stattfand. Aktionäre, die 47,636,516 der 49,304,845 stimmberechtigten Aktien (etwa 96.7%) vertraten, waren persönlich anwesend oder durch Vollmacht vertreten. Fünf zur Wahl stehende Direktoren � Timothy Bridgewater, Dr. Abigail M. Allen, James P. Bensen, Neil Bush und Mark M. Jacobs � wurden mit überwältigender Unterstützung gewählt, mit nur wenigen Enthaltungen und 299,811 nicht abgegebenen Stimmen durch Broker.

Die Aktionäre stimmten einem Vorschlag gemäß den Nasdaq-Regeln zu, der die Ausgabe von Aktien in Höhe von mindestens 20% des ausstehenden Stammkapitals erlaubt (Abstimmung: 41,798,306 岹ü; 5,528,389 dagegen), bestätigten Grant Thornton LLP als Abschlussprüfer (47,604,351 dafür) und genehmigten Verfahren für eine Vertagung. Stichtag für die Abstimmung war der 6. Juni 2025.

Positive
  • High shareholder participation with a quorum representing 96.7% of eligible shares
  • All five director nominees re-elected with strong majorities and minimal withheld votes
  • Grant Thornton LLP ratified as independent registered public accounting firm with overwhelming support
Negative
  • Shareholder approval was obtained to issue shares equal to or in excess of 20% of outstanding common stock, which could materially increase the share count
  • Significant opposition to the >20% issuance proposal: 5,528,389 votes against, indicating meaningful shareholder dissent on that item

Insights

TL;DR: Board slate re-elected with strong support; governance vote to allow >20% issuance cleared the shareholder hurdle.

The re-election results show consolidated shareholder backing: each nominee received roughly 47.32 million votes with only single- to low-five-digit withholds, indicating stable board endorsement. The presence of 299,811 broker non-votes is modest relative to total outstanding shares. The approval to authorize issuance equal to or in excess of 20% of outstanding shares meets Nasdaq Listing Rule requirements and materially expands the Board's capital-raising flexibility under the approved terms.

TL;DR: Routine governance outcomes, but approval to issue >=20% of shares is a material corporate action for capital structure.

Quorum was robust at 96.7%, and the auditor ratification vote was decisive (47,604,351 for). The Nasdaq-rule authorization passed with 41,798,306 votes for versus 5,528,389 against and 299,811 broker non-votes, a split that investors may track since it enables potential large share issuances which could affect dilution and voting power depending on future transactions.
