Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 19, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) set August 18, 2023 as the date for the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). This date is more than 25 days after the one-year anniversary of the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, which was held on June 15, 2022. In light of the foregoing, and in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (as amended, the “Bylaws”), in order for any business to be brought before the 2023 Annual Meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must notify the Company of such intention by notice received at the Company’s principal executive office no later than the close of business on June 16, 2023.
Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received at the Company’s principal executive office no later than the close of business on June 23, 2023, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and mail proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting. In addition, all such shareholder notices and shareholder proposals must conform to the applicable requirements of the Bylaws, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable law. All such notices and shareholder proposals should be directed to: “1 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 1039, New York, NY, 10020, Attention: Corporate Secretary.”
