This 8-K filing from Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (CFG) details the outcomes of its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 27, 2023.

This indicates a strong level of confidence from the shareholder base in the current board and management's direction. Notably, the election of directors and the advisory vote on executive compensation saw a significant number of broker non-votes, which is a common occurrence when shares are held in "street name" and the beneficial owner has not provided voting instructions. However, the votes cast "for" each proposal far outweighed those cast "against," demonstrating broad shareholder backing for the company's governance and financial oversight.
