8-K/A: TEAM Inc. Reverses Charter Amendment After Correcting Shareholder Vote Miscount
Amendment to Current Report
TEAM Inc. has filed an amended 8-K to correct previously reported shareholder voting results, confirming that a proposed amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation regarding director removal did not pass and has been reversed.
Summary
- TEAM, Inc. filed an Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K/A to correct an error in its original filing from June 20, 2025.
- The original report incorrectly stated that a proposal to amend the company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter Amendment Proposal") had passed at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 18, 2025.
- The Charter Amendment Proposal, which sought to delete language specifying when "cause" is deemed to exist for director removal, did not receive the necessary shareholder vote (at least two-thirds of outstanding shares) and was therefore not approved.
- As a result, TEAM, Inc. filed a Certificate of Correction with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 24, 2025, to undo the Charter Amendment.
- The Charter Amendment is now considered null and void ab initio, meaning the company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation from November 29, 2011 (as previously amended on October 24, 2013, November 28, 2022, and December 21, 2022) remains unchanged and in effect.
