Item 5.08         Shareholder Director Nominations.
 
The information below under Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08, to the extent applicable.
 
Item 8.01         Other Events.
 
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Talphera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has established June 24, 2024 as the date of the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). The time and location of the 2024 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2024 Annual Meeting will be the close of business on April 26, 2024. Because the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is being advanced by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to inform stockholders of this change and to provide the due date for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposals or qualified stockholder director nominations.
 
Stockholders who intend to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (the “Rule 14a-8”) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposals are received by the Company, in writing, at 1850 Gateway Drive, Suite 175, San Mateo, California 94404, and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, no later than April 23, 2024, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to deliver and make available its proxy materials, and must furthermore comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8.
 
Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), to be considered timely, stockholders who intend to present proposals for director nominations or any other proposal at the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide notice in writing to the Company at 1850 Gateway Drive, Suite 175, San Mateo, California 94404, and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, no later than the close of business on April 29, 2024, the tenth calendar day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K publicly announcing the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting. Stockholders are advised to review the Bylaws, which contain additional requirements regarding advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.
 
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Bylaws, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees, must provide notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 25, 2024.
