Incyte stockholders approve 8.5 million share increase to stock incentive plan
At its June 10, 2025 annual meeting, Incyte stockholders approved an 8,500,000-share increase to the shares available under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, removed the fungible share ratio for future awards, and extended the plan's termination date by five years. They also approved a 1,000,000-share increase to the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, elected all nine director nominees, and ratified Ernst & Young LLP as auditor for 2025. Larger equity plan reserves allow more stock awards, which can dilute existing shareholders.
