Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

At the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of FuelCell Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) held on April 8, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (as so amended and restated, the “Second Amended and Restated Plan”), which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval. The purpose of the amendment and restatement was to authorize the Company to issue up to 8,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to awards under the Second Amended and Restated Plan.

 

Following the approval of the Second Amended and Restated Plan by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Second Amended and Restated Plan provides the Company with the authority to issue a total of 12,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Second Amended and Restated Plan authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, shares, performance shares, performance units, incentive awards and dividend equivalent units to officers, other employees, directors, consultants and advisors.

 

The Company cannot currently determine the benefits, if any, to be paid under the Second Amended and Restated Plan in the future to the officers of the Company, including the Company’s named executive officers.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Plan is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2021. A copy of the Second Amended and Restated Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Second Amended and Restated Plan set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such materials.

 

Item 5.07

At the Annual Meeting held on April 8, 2021, five proposals were submitted to a vote of the holders of shares of common stock of the Company.  The voting results with respect to those five proposals were as follows:
