American Well Stockholders Asked to Approve Equity Plan Share Increase

According to the filing, American Well Corporation, a telehealth company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under NYSE:AMWL, is convening a Special Meeting of stockholders on December 29, 2026. The meeting will be conducted in a virtual format. The sole item of business presented to stockholders is a proposal to amend the company's existing 2020 Equity Incentive Plan by increasing the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under that plan.

The filing discloses that the board of directors recommends a "For" vote on this amendment.

Stockholders who wish to review the complete proxy materials may access them through the proxy voting platform identified in the filing. The filing notes that unless a copy is specifically requested prior to December 15, 2026, stockholders will not automatically receive a paper or email copy of the materials.
