5 terms

quorum regulatory

"shall constitute a quorum (Section 2.06 of the Bylaws)"

A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.

principal financial officer financial

"designated him as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer"

The principal financial officer is the senior executive who runs a company's financial operations: preparing and certifying financial reports, managing accounting controls, budgets and cash flow, and advising on financial strategy. Investors care about this role because its competence affects how trustworthy the company’s numbers are, how well it manages risk and capital needs, and the credibility of forecasts—like the chief navigator steering a firm's financial course.

principal accounting officer financial

"designated him as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer"

The Principal Accounting Officer is the person responsible for making sure a company's financial records are accurate and follow the rules. They play a key role in preparing financial reports that show how well the company is doing. This helps investors, managers, and regulators trust the company's financial information.

emerging growth company regulatory

"Emerging growth company Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights"

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On March 29, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Caring Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) which reduces the number of shares required to constitute a quorum at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to provide that stockholders holding thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum (Section 2.06 of the Bylaws).

Prior to the Amendment to the quorum requirements of the Bylaws as discussed above, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting would constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. The change to the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings was made to improve the Company’s ability to hold shareholder meetings when called.

The foregoing description of the Amendment to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
