Genprex, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan
On June 18, 2026 at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting") of Genprex, Inc. (the "Company" or "Genprex"), the Company's stockholders approved the Company's amended and restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan", and as so amended and restated, the "Amended Equity Plan"). The Amended Equity Plan amends the 2018 Plan primarily by increasing the number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by an additional 1,850,000 shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events). The Amended Equity Plan has a term through April 15, 2036 (the 10-year anniversary of the Board's adoption of the Amended Equity Plan); provided that the Amended Equity Plan will continue thereafter while awards granted prior to such expiration date remain outstanding. A description of the principal features of the Amended Equity Plan, including the terms and conditions thereof and the awards that may be granted thereunder, is included in the Proxy Statement (as such term is defined in Item 5.07 below) under "Proposal 4 - Approval of the Company's Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan," beginning on page 34 of the Proxy Statement. The Amended Equity Plan became effective upon its approval by the Company's stockholders at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
The description of the Amended Equity Plan in the Proxy Statement and the foregoing description of the Amended Equity Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Equity Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

As there were sufficient votes at the time of the 2026 Annual Meeting to approve each of the proposals, the Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
No other business properly came before the 2026 Annual Meeting.
