On October 29, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from six to seven directors and appointed Thomas Meharey to fill the newly created directorship. Mr. Meharey will serve until the date of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

As a non-employee director, Mr. Meharey will participate in the Company’s previously disclosed non-employee director compensation program, which for 2023 consists of: (i) an annual cash retainer of $80,000 which is paid in quarterly installments and (ii) an annual equity grant of restricted stock units under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan with a grant date value of approximately $80,000 that will vest quarterly over two years, subject to continued service as a director through such date. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Meharey will receive a pro-rata portion of each to reflect the fact that he was appointed near the end of the 2023. 

A brief description of the qualifications and experiences of Mr. Meharey is set forth below.

Thomas Meharey, age 42, was appointed as director of the Company in October 2023. Mr. Meharey currently serves as a Vice President and board member for kathy ireland Worldwide, a global lifestyle company (“kiWW”). Mr. Meharey was appointed Vice President of kiWW in 2007 and as a board member of kiWW in 2017.

Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company currently plans to hold its 2023 Annual Meeting on December 6, 2023. Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 9, 2023 will be entitled to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The time and location of the 2023 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the scheduled date of the 2023 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary of the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, prior disclosed deadlines regarding the submission of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the 2023 Annual Meeting are no longer applicable. The Company is hereby providing notice of certain revised deadlines for the submission of stockholder proposals in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting. In order for a stockholder proposal, submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8, to be considered timely for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2023 Annual Meeting, such proposal must be received by the Company by November 11, 2023. The Company has determined that November 11, 2023, which is 10 days after the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. Therefore, in order for a stockholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8, including with respect to the subject matter of the proposal, and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company no later than November 11, 2023. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8.

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by November 11, 2023, which is 10 days after the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
