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.

2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders




On June 12, 2023, the Board of the Company determined that the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held on August 11, 2023. The Board also approved July 3, 2023 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may attend and vote at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting has changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals. In accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any stockholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must be delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the Company’s executive offices located at Sunlight Financial Holdings, Inc., 101 North Tryon Street, Suite 1000, Charlotte, North Carolina 28246, Attn: Corporate Secretary, on or before the close of business on June 22, 2023, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. In addition to complying with this deadline, stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must also comply with all applicable SEC rules, including Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

To comply with the universal proxy rules under Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than June 22, 2023.

Under the Company’s Bylaws, stockholders may also present a proposal or director nomination at the Annual Meeting if advance written notice is timely given to the Company, in accordance with the Bylaws. Because the date of the Annual Meeting will now be held more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company is establishing June 22, 2023 as the date by which notice by a stockholder of any such proposal or nomination must be received by the Company.
