Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (JBHT) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 24, 2025, under a proxy statement dated March 14, 2025, and filed this Current Report under Item 5.07 to disclose the final vote results. Stockholders considered three matters: the election of nine directors to one-year terms, an advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers, and ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for calendar year 2025. The filing states that no other business came before the meeting or any adjournment.
On the director elections, each of the nine nominees received more votes For than Against, with Brett Biggs, Bryan Hunt, Persio Lisboa and Shelley Simpson among those with the highest For counts, and James L. Robo receiving the most Against votes at 8,826,077. The advisory say-on-pay proposal received 85,048,145 For votes against 4,814,285 Against, with 185,676 Abstain and 4,803,550 non-votes.
The PwC ratification was the most lopsided of the three, with 94,442,062 For, 220,138 Against and 189,455 Abstain. For investors, this filing is primarily a governance record.
It confirms board composition as voted on, shows stockholder support for executive pay, and confirms continuity of the independent auditor for 2025. It does not report financial results or new transactions.
