Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Affirm (Nasdaq: AFRM) filed an 8-K disclosing that, at a June 25, 2025 special meeting, stockholders approved the reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada. The proposal passed with 675.2 million votes FOR (84.3% of votes cast) against 124.9 million AGAINST, representing 89.62% of total voting power present.

On June 26, 2025 the company filed the requisite conversion documents; the move becomes effective July 1, 2025, 12:01 a.m. PT. At the effective time, each share of Class A and Class B common stock, as well as all equity awards, will convert 1-for-1 into equivalent Nevada shares. The ticker AFRM and Nasdaq listing remain unchanged.

The filing emphasizes that the reincorporation will not affect operations, management, assets, liabilities, contracts or net worth, but it will subject the company and investors to Nevada corporate law; “certain rights of the Company’s stockholders will change” as detailed in the proxy statement.

Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • Reincorporation subjects investors to Nevada corporate law, altering shareholder rights and potentially increasing managerial protections.

Insights

TL;DR: Governance shift, no financial impact

The conversion to Nevada leaves cash flows, capital structure and guidance untouched, so valuation models remain intact. Equity structure is preserved 1-for-1, avoiding dilution or tax impacts. Near-term expenses are limited to legal and filing costs, immaterial to AFRM’s FY25 OPEX base. Rating reflects neutral financial effect but acknowledges procedural completion ahead of quarter-end.

TL;DR: Shareholder rights narrowed; board leverage rises

Nevada statutes provide broader director liability protections and takeover defenses than Delaware, potentially reducing activist leverage. While no bylaws were disclosed here, the filing confirms “certain rights … will change,” signalling a governance tilt favoring management. Investors should review the Nevada Charter for amendments on fiduciary duties, derivative suits and appraisal rights. Long-term, this could raise governance-risk discount despite unchanged operations.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 25, 2025, Affirm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Delaware Class A Common Stock”), were entitled to one vote on each proposal for each share held as of the close of business on April 28, 2025 (the “Record Date”), and holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Delaware Class B Common Stock”), were entitled to fifteen votes on each proposal for each share held as of the close of business on the Record Date. The Delaware Class A Common Stock and the Delaware Class B Common Stock voted as a single class on all proposals.

At the beginning of the Special Meeting, present in person or by proxy were holders of Delaware Class A Common Stock and Delaware Class B Common Stock together representing 89.62% of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Delaware Class A Common Stock and Delaware Class B Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum.

The stockholders considered two proposals at the Special Meeting, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”). The final number of votes cast for and against and the final number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal voted upon are set forth below.

Proposal 1. The stockholders approved the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion by the following vote:

ForAgainstAbstainBroker Non-Votes
675,165,243124,941,582608,899

Proposal 2. The stockholders approved one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1 by the following vote:

ForAgainstAbstainBroker Non-Votes
655,052,508145,185,677477,539

Although Proposal 2 was approved, adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because the stockholders approved Proposal 1.

No other items were presented for stockholder approval at the Special Meeting.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to reincorporate the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to the terms of a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), as described in the Proxy Statement.

On June 26, 2025, the Company filed (i) a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (ii) articles of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Reincorporation will become effective on July 1, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time:
the Company’s legal domicile will change from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada; and

the affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the Company’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and instead will become governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and the articles of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Charter”) and the bylaws approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Nevada Bylaws”).

The Reincorporation will not result in any change in the business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities, or net worth (other than as a result of the costs related to the Reincorporation). The Reincorporation will not materially affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under those material contractual arrangements will continue to be the rights and obligations of the Company after the Reincorporation. The corporate existence of Affirm Holdings, Inc. will not cease at any time.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Delaware Class A Common Stock automatically will convert into one outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Nevada corporation (the “Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock”), and each outstanding share of Delaware Class B Common Stock automatically will convert into one outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Nevada corporation (the “Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock”). At the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit, option, warrant or right to acquire shares of Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock or Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock automatically will become a restricted stock unit, option, warrant or right to acquire an equal number of shares of Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock or Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock, as applicable, under the same terms and conditions. The Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “AFRM.”

Certain rights of the Company’s stockholders will change as a result of the Reincorporation. A more detailed description of the Plan of Conversion, Nevada Charter, Nevada Bylaws, and the effects of the Reincorporation is set forth in the Proxy Statement under “Proposal No. 1: Approval of the Reincorporation of the Company to the State of Nevada by Conversion,” which description is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Plan of Conversion, Nevada Charter, and Nevada Bylaws are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 3.1, and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
