Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.
On June 29, 2020, the Board of Directors of Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. ("the Company") established that the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) will be held virtually by means of remote communication on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. The record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting shall be the close of business on Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Because the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty days from the anniversary date of the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on July 23, 2019, the deadlines for any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are no longer applicable. Pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadline for such proposals by means of this Form 8-K.
Any stockholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 must be delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the Company’s principal executive offices at 5421 Avenida Encinas, Suite F, Carlsbad, California 92008, Attention: Corporate Secretary, on or before the close of business on July 6, 2020, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2020 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 2020 Annual Meeting must also comply with all applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, including Rule 14a-8.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
