AstroNova, Inc. informs shareholders that its 2025 Annual Meeting was rescheduled to Tuesday, December 2, 2025. The company set October 13, 2025 as the record date for shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting. AstroNova states that shareholder proposals to be included in the company’s proxy materials must be received in writing at the Company’s Secretary at 600 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick, Rhode Island 02893 by the close of business on October 3, 2025, which the company deems a reasonable deadline under applicable Exchange Act rules. The notice reminds shareholders that proposals and director nominations must also comply with Rhode Island law and SEC rules, and that submissions received after the stated deadline will be considered untimely and not included in the proxy materials or considered at the meeting. The company says the definitive proxy will specify the meeting time, location and means of attendance.

Positive

  • Definitive deadlines for record date (October 13, 2025) and proxy inclusion (October 3, 2025) reduce uncertainty for proposers

Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR Rescheduling the annual meeting with clear proposal deadlines is routine but material to shareholder participation and proxy planning.

The company has provided concrete dates: a new meeting date, a record date and a deadline for inclusion of shareholder proposals in proxy materials. These steps are standard corporate governance practice to ensure orderly solicitation and compliance with the Exchange Act and state law. Specifying the corporate office for submissions and reiterating Rhode Island and SEC compliance reduces ambiguity for shareholders. The disclosure itself carries limited substantive impact on operations or financials but is important administratively for shareholders preparing proposals or nominations.

TL;DR The filing clarifies timing for proxy inclusion and voting eligibility, which is essential for potential proponents and proxy solicitors.

By setting the inclusion cutoff and record date, the company enables proponents and proxy advisors to calendar actions and prepare materials. The October 3 inclusion deadline and October 13 record date are close in time, so proponents must act promptly. The company’s statement that the definitive proxy will state meeting logistics aligns with typical SEC practice. No new procedural exceptions or atypical conditions are disclosed.

Item 5.08

Shareholder Director Nominations.

To the extent applicable, the information set forth in Item 8.01 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01

Other Matters.

As previously reported, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AstroNova, Inc. (the “Company”) determined to reschedule the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), previously scheduled for Wednesday, July 9, 2025. On August 28, 2025, the Board established Tuesday, December 2, 2025 (the “New Meeting Date”) as the rescheduled date for the 2025 Annual Meeting. The Board has set October 13, 2025 as the record date relative to the New Meeting Date for the 2025 Annual Meeting. The time, location and means of attending the 2025 Annual Meeting will be specified in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the 2025 Annual Meeting.

The Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) was held on June 11, 2024. As the New Meeting Date is more than 30 days after the first anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company is informing shareholders of this change in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is informing shareholders of the new dates described below for submitting shareholder proposals and other matters for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, a shareholder intending to present a proposal to be included in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting must deliver the proposal in writing to the Company’s Secretary at its corporate office at 600 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick, Rhode Island, 02893 no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail the proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting. To be considered for inclusion in this year’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting, shareholder proposals must be submitted in writing on or before the close of business on October 3, 2025, which the Company believes to be a reasonable deadline under the applicable rules of the Exchange Act. In addition to complying with such deadline, shareholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting must also comply with Rhode Island law as well as all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act. Any director nominations and shareholder proposals received after such deadline will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting nor will it be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Any shareholder who wishes to make a nomination or introduce an item of business at the 2025 Annual Meeting, other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, must deliver proper notice to the Company in writing to the Company’s Secretary at its corporate office at 600 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick, Rhode Island, 02893 not later than the close of business on October 3, 2025.

 

2


In addition, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice in writing to the Company’s Secretary at its corporate office at 600 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick, Rhode Island, 02893 setting forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than the close of business on October 3, 2025.
