On March 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of
Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”)
established that the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Thursday, June 23, 2022. The record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting shall be the close of business on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Because the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty days from the anniversary date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), which was held on November 17, 2021, the deadlines for any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and for any stockholder nomination or proposal outside of Rule 14a-8, as listed in the Company’s 2021 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 6, 2021, are no longer applicable. Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals via this Form 8-K.
To be considered for inclusion in this year’s proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by April 22, 2022. In addition to complying with this deadline, stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting must also comply with the Bylaws and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. Additionally, any stockholder who intends to submit a proposal regarding a director nomination or who intends to submit a proposal regarding any other matter of business at the 2022 Annual Meeting to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting must also ensure that notice of any such nomination or proposal (including any additional information specified in the Bylaws) is received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices on or before the close of business on April 22, 2022.
Any stockholder proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials, notice of proposed business to be brought before the 2022 Annual Meeting, or director nomination should be sent to: Corporate Secretary, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc., 2790 Skypark Drive, Suite 105, Torrance, California 90505.
