AngioDynamics proposes equity plan share increase
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
AngioDynamics, Inc. asks shareholders to elect Eileen O. Auen and Jan Stern Reed as Class II directors, ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027, approve named executive compensation on an advisory basis, and approve an amendment increasing shares reserved under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan from 9,050,000 to 10,050,000. The Annual Meeting is November 17, 2026, at noon Eastern Time, by webcast only; shareholders of record on September 18, 2026, may vote. The Board recommends “FOR” all four proposals.
For the year ended May 31, 2026, revenue increased 9.5% on a GAAP as reported basis; Med Tech grew 18.4% and Med Device increased 2.6%. Howard W. Donnelly plans to retire as Board Chair at the meeting, after which Eileen O. Auen will serve as independent, non-executive Chair. Eric Honroth will succeed President and CEO James C. Clemmer effective November 2, 2026. Clemmer will provide consulting services until the first anniversary of his retirement, unless earlier terminated.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
Positive
- Moderate pointFiscal 2026 revenue increased 9.5% on a GAAP as reported basis.
Negative
- None.
Filing Explained
The proxy does not issue shares; added plan capacity depends on shareholder approval.
At the
If shares from the plan are later issued, total shares rise and existing holders’ percentage ownership falls absent offsetting changes.
The separate executive-compensation vote is advisory and nonbinding on the Board, which says it and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee will take the vote into account in compensation decisions.

(1) | Stock Awards: The stock awards column represents aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards and performance share awards granted in the respective fiscal year as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of restricted stock units was determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units by the closing stock price on the date of grant, while the grant date fair value of performance share awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards are discussed in Note 13 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

(1) | Amounts in the “Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options” column represent the value of the number of each named executive officer’s in-the-money stock option awards that would have been eligible for accelerated vesting upon a termination and/or change in control occurring on May 31, 2026, calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such in-the-money unvested stock options held by each named executive officer by the difference between that option’s exercise price and $11.48 (the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year, May 31, 2026, as reported on Nasdaq). See the discussion above under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a description of the applicable vesting provisions. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(2) | Amounts in the “Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Share Vesting” column represent the value of the number of each named executive officer’s restricted stock units and performance share awards that would have been eligible for accelerated vesting upon a termination and/or change in control occurring on May 31, 2026, calculated by multiplying the number of such restricted stock units and target number of performance share awards by $11.48 (the closing price of our common stock on May 31, 2026, as reported on Nasdaq), with proration in the applicable circumstances. See the discussion above under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a description of the applicable vesting provisions. |
(3) | Represents (i) the estimated future cost of providing continuing Company-paid coverage under the Company’s group health insurance plans for 12 months upon an involuntary termination or, if in connection with a Change in Control, for 18 months (24 months in the case of the CEO) and (ii) the payment of the retention award under the Retention Agreement on a termination without cause. The Retention Agreement does not provide for acceleration or payment on a Change in Control. |
(4) | The totals shown here do not take into account the application of any “best-after-tax” cutback that may apply if an executive’s payments would otherwise be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. |

• | Restricted stock units: The fair value of restricted stock units was based on the Company’s closing stock price on each measurement date. |
• | Non-qualified stock options: The fair value of non-qualified stock options was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. |

The fair value for performance unit awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. |

• | Available shares. The 2020 Plan authorizes an aggregate of 9,050,000 shares for grant, subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of significant corporate events. As noted above, approval of this Proposal 4 would authorize up to an additional 1,000,000 shares to be made available for grants under the 2020 Plan. |
• | No “evergreen” provision. The 2020 Plan does not include an “evergreen” feature, which would allow the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan to be automatically replenished. |
• | No liberal share recycling. Shares withheld for the payment of taxes related to any award or tendered for the payment of an exercise price of an option shall not again be available for awards under the 2020 Plan. |
• | No discounted options or SARs. No awards of stock options or SARs will be granted under the 2020 Plan with an exercise price of less than fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. |
• | No repricing or cash buyouts of stock options or SARs. The 2020 Plan does not permit the repricing or cash buyouts of stock options or SARs without shareholder approval. |

• | Dividends/dividend equivalents subject to vesting. The Company does not currently pay dividends. Any dividends and dividend equivalents payable with respect to 2020 Plan awards would be subject to the same vesting terms as the related award. |
• | Minimum vesting requirement. Generally, awards under the 2020 Plan will have a minimum restriction or vesting period of one year from the date of grant. Grants to our non-employee directors could be made without any vesting conditions (e.g., could be granted as fully vested awards). |
• | Double trigger change-in-control. The 2020 Plan does not provide for the automatic vesting of outstanding awards in connection with a change in control. Such awards would only accelerate following a change-in-control if either the successor entity does not assume or continue the awards or if the participant suffers a qualifying termination after the awards are assumed or replaced. |
• | Director award limit. Non-employee directors may not be granted awards with a grant date fair value of greater than $500,000 in any calendar year. |
