Orion Energy Systems shareholders approve 300,000-share increase to equity incentive plan
At its August 6, 2026 annual meeting, Orion Energy Systems shareholders approved an amended and restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan that raises the share reserve from 600,000 to 900,000 shares and extends the plan's term to the tenth anniversary of the meeting. Shareholders also re-elected two Class I directors, approved executive pay on an advisory basis, and ratified BDO USA, P.C. as auditor for fiscal 2027. The plan change adds potential equity dilution for existing shareholders, and the filing does not state the value of future awards.
