Summary

VAALCO Energy held its annual stockholder meeting on June 4, 2026, with the most material outcome being approval of a significant expansion to the company's equity compensation plan. Stockholders approved Amendment No. 3 to the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, which increases the share reserve by 5.25 million shares to a total of 20 million and extends the plan's term by ten years through 2036.

The amendment received 86.7% support, the lowest approval rate among the four proposals, reflecting some stockholder concern about potential dilution from the expanded share pool. All other proposals passed with strong support. The five director nominees were elected with approval ranging from 90.7% to 97.7%, the say-on-pay vote passed with 97.3% support, and the auditor ratification received 98.8% approval.

These routine governance matters show healthy stockholder alignment with management. The filing also contains an incomplete Item 5.02 section with only the fragment "As described in" and no further disclosure, suggesting a formatting or filing error, though this does not affect the substantive annual meeting results reported under Item 5.07.
