IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 24, 2026-- WM Technology, Inc. ("WM Technology" or the "Company") (OTC: MAPS), a leading marketplace and technology solutions provider to the cannabis industry, today announced that the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") held in virtual form on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, was convened and adjourned until Thursday July 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time without any business being conducted. The Company adjourned the Annual Meeting for the purpose of allowing additional time for stockholders to vote on the proposal to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and to provide for the immediate annual election of all directors (the "Declassification Proposal"), as more fully described in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 28, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement"). The business scheduled for the re-convened meeting remains the same as set forth in the Proxy Statement. The record date for the Annual Meeting continues to be the close of business on April 27, 2026.
At the re-convened meeting, stockholders of the Company will consider and vote to (i) approve the Declassification Proposal; (ii) approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation as disclosed in the Proxy Statement of the Company's principal executive officer and its two most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Company's principal executive officer) who were serving as the Company's executive officers at the end of the last completed fiscal year for the year ended December 31, 2025; (iii) ratify the selection by the audit committee of the Board of Macias Gini & O'Connell LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2026; (iv) (a) if the Declassification Proposal is not approved, elect the seven director nominees named in the Proxy Statement, each to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal; or (b) if the Declassification Proposal is not approved, elect the three nominees for Class II directors named in the Proxy Statement, each to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal; and (v) conduct any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
If you have already voted your shares, you do not need to vote again, and the Company thanks you for your support. If you have voted against the Declassification Proposal or abstained, the Company urges you to reconsider your vote and vote in favor of the Declassification Proposal. The Board believes that the proposed declassification of the Board is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders as it promotes board continuity, encourages long-term perspective by management and the Board, and increases accountability of directors to the Company's stockholders. Additionally, the Board believes the proposed declassification would better align the Company's governance with what is considered to be governance best practices by the investor community.
All stockholders of record as of April 27, 2026, who have not already done so are encouraged to vote on the proposals. Stockholders who have already voted need not take any further action.
The Company's Board of Directors strongly recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting.
