Summary
This 8-K filing from Cencora, Inc. (formerly AmerisourceBergen Corporation) details the results of its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on March 9, 2023. The primary focus for investors is the strong shareholder support for the re-election of all director nominees and the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor for fiscal year 2023. Additionally, shareholders provided an advisory vote of approval for the compensation of named executive officers, indicating general confidence in the company's executive compensation structure. The company also confirmed that shareholders favored an annual advisory vote on executive compensation moving forward. Notably, a shareholder proposal regarding "Shareholder Ratification of Termination Pay" did not receive majority support, meaning it was not approved.
