Sezzle amends equity incentive plan to allow sell-to-cover and delayed settlements
Sezzle's board approved on July 31, 2025 an amendment to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan that lets the company facilitate sell-to-cover sales to fund participant tax withholding and delay share settlement of awards vesting during trading black-out periods. All award holders, including the CEO and CFO, acknowledged the amendment terms. The change is administrative and does not state any financial figures.
