topgolf callaway brands shareholders approve amended incentive plan

Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE:MODG) announced the approval of its amended and restated 2022 Incentive Plan during its annual meeting of shareholders held last Thursday. The plan, initially approved by the company’s Board of Directors on March 27, 2025, became effective upon approval at the meeting.

The Restated Plan increases the number of shares available for issuance by 13.5 million over the previous plan. The plan stipulates that stock options and stock appreciation rights will reduce available shares on a one-for-one basis, while full-value awards will decrease the share pool by two shares per award.

Additionally, the plan caps the issuance of incentive stock options at 30 million shares and prohibits granting ISOs beyond ten years from the earlier of the Board or shareholder approval dates.

Shareholders also voted on three other proposals. The election of directors saw Oliver G. Brewer III, John F. Lundgren, and others re-elected with varying levels of support. Deloitte & Touche LLP was ratified as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, and the compensation of named executive officers was approved on an advisory basis.

The meeting had a participation of 159 million shares out of the 183.7 million outstanding as of the record date. The details of the voting results are available in the company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 16, 2025.
