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

As noted below under Item 5.07, at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Vacasa, Inc. (the “Company”), held on May 23, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Vacasa, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) and an amendment and restatement of the Vacasa, Inc. 2021 Nonqualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), each of which were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on April 10, 2023, subject to the approval by the Company’s stockholders.
The amendment and restatement of the Plan, among other things, (i) increases the number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance by 10 million shares, (ii) modifies the automatic annual share increase provision by removing the limit equal to 5% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and extending the evergreen through 2033, and (iii) provides that all shares subject to stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) under the TurnKey Vacations, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the Vacasa, Inc. 2016 Equity Compensation Incentive Plan that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of SARs on exercise thereof will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

The amendment and restatement of the ESPP, among other things, amends the automatic annual share increase by removing the limit equal to 2% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and extending the evergreen through 2033.

A more detailed description of the material terms of the Plan and ESPP was included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 24, 2023 (“Proxy Statement”). The foregoing and the summaries in the Proxy Statement are not complete summaries of the terms of the Plan and ESPP, and are qualified by reference to the text of the Plan and ESPP, copies of which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 23, 2023, at the Annual Meeting, as further described in Item 5.07 below, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate”) to: (i) expand the maximum size of the Board from 10 directors to 11 directors, (ii) revise the process for filling Board vacancies and newly created directorships, (iii) revise references to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Certificate), (iv) allow for exculpation of officers, and (v) to allow for the Board, in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (each an “Amendment” and collectively, the “Amendments”).

As noted in the Proxy Statement, all Amendments were combined into one Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate, except for the Amendment related to the reverse stock split for which the Board has discretion to implement at any time before May 23, 2024. The remaining Amendments became effective upon filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 23, 2023. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
