Corporate governance and capital markets analyst

Stockholders backed all proposals, including reverse split authority and lower quorum.

Phoenix Motor Inc. obtained strong stockholder support at its 2025 annual meeting, with approximately 82.38% of eligible shares represented. All five director nominees were elected, indicating broad continuity in board leadership. The auditor ratification for Summit Group CPAs for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, also passed with a wide margin, suggesting no major shareholder concerns about financial reporting oversight.

Stockholders authorized the board to implement, at its discretion, a reverse stock split of up to 1-for-10 and a related charter amendment, framed as supporting efforts to meet Nasdaq listing quantitative requirements. This does not itself change the capital structure immediately but gives the board flexibility to adjust the share count and per-share price. The ratified bylaw change lowering the quorum threshold for future meetings to one-third of shares entitled to vote may make it easier to conduct business when turnout is lower, while still relying on stockholder votes for key decisions.
