HubSpot shareholders approve board declassification

HubSpot Inc . (NYSE:HUBS), a leading developer of cloud-based marketing and sales software with a market capitalization of $30.5 billion and impressive gross profit margins of 85%, announced significant changes to its corporate governance structure following its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 4, 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, though current valuations suggest the stock is trading above its Fair Value. The company’s stockholders approved the Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which includes the declassification of its Board of Directors and the elimination of supermajority voting provisions.

The amendments to the corporate charter were filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and became effective immediately. In conjunction with these changes, HubSpot’s Board adopted the Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws, also effective immediately, reflecting the elimination of the supermajority voting provisions. These governance changes come as the company maintains robust revenue growth of 19% year-over-year, as reported by InvestingPro.

During the Annual Meeting, shareholders voted on several key proposals. In addition to the governance changes, they ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The compensation of the company’s named executive officers was approved on a non-binding, advisory basis.

The election of directors resulted in the re-election of Lorrie Norrington, Andrew Anagnost, and Dharmesh Shah to serve as Class II directors for a three-year term. A non-binding stockholder proposal entitled "Simple Majority Vote" was also approved.

The approved changes to the company’s governance structure are seen as a move towards enhancing shareholder rights and simplifying the voting process. The full text of the Amended Charter and Amended Bylaws was filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this report.
