Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2021, Earthstone Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) scheduled its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) for July 8, 2021 and set May 24, 2021 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. It also set May 10, 2021 as the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals or nominations for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On June 7, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company rescheduled the Annual Meeting from July 8, 2021 to July 20, 2021. The record date remains May 24, 2021 for the Annual Meeting. The time and location of the Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. Because the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or qualified stockholder nominations.
In accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) under the Exchange Act, the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals or nominations for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 will be no later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, June 8, 2021. Stockholder proposals must comply with all of the applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and the Company’s Bylaws.
