What governance change did HubSpot (HUBS) disclose in this 8-K?

HubSpot disclosed a by-law amendment that designates U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forum for lawsuits under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless the company agrees in writing to another forum.

When did HubSpot’s new exclusive federal forum by-law become effective?

The Board of HubSpot approved the by-law amendment on March 11, 2026, and it became effective immediately. From that date, specified federal securities law claims must be brought in U.S. federal district courts unless HubSpot consents to an alternative forum in writing.

Which types of legal claims are covered by HubSpot’s new forum selection clause?

The clause covers any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or related rules and regulations. These federal securities claims are now directed to U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forum.

The Board adopted the amendment in response to recent amendments to the Generate Corporation Law of the State of Delaware regarding forum selection provisions. This ties HubSpot’s by-laws more closely to updated Delaware corporate law guidance on securities-related forum clauses.
