Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 16, 2024, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (the “Company”) established June 14, 2024 as the date of the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) and set May 14, 2024 as the record date for determining stockholders who are eligible to receive notice of and vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The date of the 2024 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary of the date deemed to be the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location and matters to be voted on at the 2024 Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting.

In order for stockholder proposals to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting, including by means of inclusion of a stockholder proposal in the proxy materials under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, the Company must receive proper notice at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on May 15, 2024, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting. The May 15, 2024 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, for business to be properly brought before the 2024 Annual Meeting by a stockholder, the Company must receive proper notice at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on May 15, 2024.

All proposals must be addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at “Crown Electrokinetics Corp., 1110 NE Circle Blvd., Corvallis, Oregon 97330, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.”
