Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

As indicated below, on December 6, 2023, the stockholders of Presto Automation Inc. (the “Company”) approved approve an amendment and restatement (the “Restatement”) of the Presto Automation Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) previously approved the Restatement of the 2022 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The Restatement (a) increased the shares of common stock of the Company reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares, and (b) modified the current evergreen provision such that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan will be cumulatively increased as of July 1, 2024 and every July 1 thereafter (as opposed to January 1 as currently provided in order to align the evergreen with the Company’s fiscal year), ending on and including July 1, 2033, by the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) (as opposed to one percent (1%) as previously provided) of the number of shares issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding June 30 or (ii) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.

The foregoing summary of the Restatement of the 2022 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2022 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A more complete description of the terms of the Restatement of the 2022 Plan can be found in “Proposal No. 3: Approval of Amendment and Restatement of the 2022 Plan to Increase the Number of Shares Available and to Amend the Evergreen Provision” on pages 23 to 30 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 27, 2023 (the “2023 Proxy Statement”), which description is incorporated by reference herein.
