Lifecore Biomedical (NASDAQ: LFCR) sets 2026 meeting and key proposal date

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. is aligning its corporate calendar with the calendar year after previously changing its fiscal year to end on December 31 for the period from May 26, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The company also plans to align its Annual Meetings and proxy filings with typical calendar-year reporting practices.

The Board has set June 4, 2026 as the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
