Exact Sciences Shareholders Approve New Incentive Plan

Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ:EXAS), a medical diagnostics company with a market capitalization of $10.1 billion, announced on Monday that its shareholders have approved the 2025 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan and an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the 2025 Annual Meeting held on June 12, 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 11.57% over the last twelve months.

The 2025 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, detailed in the Proxy Statement filed on April 29, 2025, is designed to provide long-term incentives to eligible employees, directors, and consultants. The plan aims to attract, retain, and motivate individuals by offering stock-based compensation and cash incentives.

In addition to the incentive plan, shareholders approved an amendment to the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was initially amended and restated on July 31, 2024. The amendment’s specifics were also included in the April 29 Proxy Statement.

Furthermore, during the annual meeting, shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2025. The election of seven board directors, each to serve a one-year term, was also confirmed.

The shareholders voted on an advisory basis to approve the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers. However, a stockholder proposal concerning the adoption of a director election resignation governance policy was not approved.

The full text of the 2025 Omnibus Plan and the amendment to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan can be found in Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

However, the earnings per share (EPS) showed a loss of $0.54, which was deeper than the anticipated loss of $0.33.
