Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations.
On May 23, 2025, the Board of Directors of DatChat, Inc. (the “Company”) resolved to hold its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) on August 6, 2025. The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held virtually online by means of remote communication.
The record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting is June 12, 2025. Stockholders owning the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the record date, or their legal proxy holders, are entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The Company, however, reserves the right to change the record date or the meeting date.
Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 25 days from the anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), the deadline for stockholders’ nominations or proposals for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting no longer applies. As such, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to inform stockholders of this change and to provide the due date for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposals or qualified stockholder director nominations.
Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”) must ensure that such proposal is delivered or mailed to and received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at DatChat, Inc., 204 Neilson Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, no later than June 8, 2025, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials. Such proposals must comply with all applicable procedures and requirements of Rule 14a-8.
Any stockholder who intends to submit a director nomination or who intends to submit a proposal regarding any other matter of business at the 2025 Annual Meeting other than in accordance with Rule 14a-8 or otherwise must similarly make sure that such nomination or proposal and related notice comply with all applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nevada law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, and are delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the Company’s principal executive offices on or before the close of business on June 8, 2025, which is the 10th day following the day on which the Company made a public announcement of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting. Any director nominations and stockholder proposals received after this deadline will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting nor will it be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
