Vera Bradley, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRA) (the "Company") announced today that the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") unanimously approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's existing shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan") pursuant to which the final expiration date has been accelerated from October 11, 2026 to April 17, 2026. The effect of this Amendment is to terminate the Rights Plan at the close of business on April 17, 2026.
In deciding to accelerate the final expiration date, the Board evaluated the Company's current circumstances, including the risk of any entity, person or group gaining a control or control-like position in the Company through open market accumulations of the Company's common stock or otherwise potentially disadvantaging the interests of the Company's shareholders. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the Rights Plan is no longer required at this time. The Board is committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders and will evaluate, from time to time, whether to adopt, at its discretion, a new rights plan in order to best position the Board to fulfill its fiduciary duties.
