On June 11, 2025, Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). As discussed under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to provide for an adjustment to the voting power of the Company’s Class B common stock if the rights under the Section 382 Rights Agreement dated March 28, 2025 by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Rights Agreement”) become exercisable or are exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment became effective upon the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 12, 2025 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
