Blueprint Medicines Corporation Seeks Validation of 2024 Stockholder Actions Through Section 205 Action

Blueprint Medicines Corporation recently filed a petition in the Court of Chancery to validate its 2024 Stockholder Actions through a Section 205 Action. These actions were taken at the company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 12, 2024. The Section 205 Action pertains to matters approved at the meeting, including the Blueprint Medicines Corporation 2024 Stock Incentive Plan, the election of directors, a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public account.

The company discovered a record date discrepancy related to the 2024 Annual Meeting, set incorrectly on April 12, 2024, one day prior to the 60-day requirement mandated by the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). Blueprint is now seeking validation of the Annual Meeting and the Stockholder Actions taken. The Court of Chancery directed the company to notify stockholders of a final hearing scheduled for January 13, 2025, to consider the petition filed in the Section 205 Action.

Blueprint Medicines Corporation paused additional equity grants under the 2024 Plan upon discovering the record date error. The company has taken measures to minimize potential adverse outcomes related to this issue. The Section 205 Hearing provides an opportunity for stockholders to object to the relief sought in the Section 205 Action before January 6, 2025.

The company’s forward-looking statements highlighted potential risks surrounding the Section 205 proceeding, emphasizing uncertainties inherent in litigation processes. Any potential impact on financial results was detailed in Blueprint’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Blueprint Medicines Corporation seeks validation of the 2024 Stockholder Actions through the Section 205 proceeding, ensuring transparent resolution in accordance with regulatory requirements and safeguarding the interests of its stakeholders. The final hearing will offer further clarity on the matter.
