EVgo Inc. adds 25 million shares to incentive plan

EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ:EVGO), a leader in electric vehicle charging solutions with a market capitalization of $1.15 billion and impressive revenue growth of 45% in the last twelve months, announced an expansion to its 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan, following approval by the board of directors and stockholders. The amendment, passed at the company’s annual meeting on May 15, 2025, increases the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 25 million.

This decision was made to support the company’s ongoing efforts to attract and retain top talent by offering competitive compensation packages. According to InvestingPro data, EVgo maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.27 and operates with moderate debt levels, suggesting financial flexibility for such compensation initiatives. The amendment and the original plan details were outlined in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 4, 2025.

In addition to the incentive plan expansion, the annual meeting saw the re-election of three Class I directors: Peter Anderson, Joseph Esteves, and Badar Khan. Their terms will continue until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified.

Stockholders also ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as EVgo Inc.’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The voting results for the ratification displayed strong support from the shareholders.

The announcement of these corporate governance decisions is based on information disclosed in an 8-K filing with the SEC. EVgo Inc. has emphasized its commitment to corporate transparency and adherence to regulatory requirements through timely disclosures of such material events. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently fairly valued, with analysts projecting continued sales growth despite near-term profitability challenges.
