Nike shareholders approve plan adding 45 million Class B shares for equity awards
At its virtual annual meeting on September 9, 2025, Nike shareholders approved an amended and restated Stock Incentive Plan that increases the Class B shares authorized for issuance by 45,000,000. The meeting also elected the listed directors, approved the advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the auditor for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026. The plan change raises the pool of shares available for equity awards, which matters to shareholders because it affects potential share issuance.
