What were the key outcomes of Dominion Energy's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

The key outcomes include the election of all 11 director nominees, advisory approval of executive compensation (Say on Pay), ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor, and the rejection of a shareholder proposal regarding executive pay incentives related to non-carbon emitting generation goals.

Did shareholders support the proposed executive compensation plan?

Shareholders provided an advisory approval for the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers. While this vote is advisory and not binding, it indicates general shareholder satisfaction with the executive compensation structure.

What is the significance of the broker non-vote reported in the filing?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holds shares in "street name" for a client but has not received voting instructions from the client. These shares are not counted as votes cast for or against a proposal, but they do represent shares owned by beneficial holders. The substantial number of broker non-votes suggests a large portion of shares are held by beneficial owners who may not have provided specific voting instructions on certain matters.

What was the shareholder sentiment regarding environmental goals in executive pay?

Shareholders did not approve a proposal that requested the elimination of non-carbon emitting generation goals in executive pay incentives. This suggests that a majority of voting shareholders support the inclusion of such environmental performance metrics in executive compensation.
