Filed April 25, 2024For Securities:EIX

Summary

This 8-K filing reports the results of Edison International's (EIX) Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 25, 2024. The primary focus of the filing is the outcome of four shareholder proposals. Investors will note that all eleven director nominees were elected to the Board of Directors with substantial support. Additionally, shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm and approved the executive compensation plan on an advisory basis. However, a shareholder proposal concerning lobbying activities did not pass. This indicates that while the board and executive compensation received strong backing, a segment of shareholders expressed disapproval or concern regarding the company's lobbying efforts. The high affirmative votes for directors and auditor ratification suggest continued shareholder confidence in the company's governance and financial oversight.
