Filed May 21, 2024For Securities:ED

Summary

Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED) filed an 8-K on May 21, 2024, detailing the outcomes of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 2024. The primary focus for investors in this filing is the shareholder approval of the amended and restated Stock Purchase Plan. This plan's terms were previously outlined in the company's proxy statement and are now officially ratified by stockholders, indicating continued support for employee equity participation. Beyond the Stock Purchase Plan, the filing confirms the election of all incumbent directors to the Con Edison Board, along with the same individuals being elected to the Board of Trustees of its subsidiary, CECONY. Additionally, shareholders overwhelmingly ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent accountants for 2024 and provided advisory approval for named executive officer compensation. The significant broker non-votes in the compensation vote warrant monitoring but do not diminish the strong overall support for the approved items.
