| Item 5.08. | Shareholder Director Nominations. |
On March 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) established June 18, 2021 as the date for the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held online at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and established April 21, 2021 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company’s Secretary c/o One Main Street, 10th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02142 on or before the close of business on April 23, 2021, 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 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 Annual Meeting. The April 23, 2021 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, in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”), stockholders who wish to bring business before the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all of the information specified in the By-laws) is received by the Company’s Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on April 23, 2021. Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the By-laws in order to be brought before the Annual Meeting.
