Open Lending has agreed to cooperate with Palogic under which it will nominate William Dabbs Cavin as a Class‑III director at the 2026 annual meeting and recommend his election to shareholders. Open Lending also supports a non‑binding Palogic proposal to declassify the board so that directors would be elected annually going forward. In return, Palogic agrees to vote in accordance with the board’s recommendations, comply with certain standstill obligations (including limiting acquisitions to a maximum of 9.9% of the common stock) and not to nominate any additional candidates. At the same time, Charles D. Jehl announced he will not stand for re‑election at the 2026 annual meeting. The agreement comes against the backdrop of a steep decline in Open Lending’s share price and, according to InvestingPro, a low market capitalization. » Más en de.investing.com
