Summary
McKesson Corporation (MCK) filed an 8-K on July 25, 2022, detailing the results of its Annual Shareholders Meeting held on July 22, 2022. The meeting focused on routine corporate governance matters, including the election of directors, ratification of the independent auditor, executive compensation advisory vote, and approval of stock plans. All director nominees were elected, and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm was ratified. Shareholders also approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of named executive officers and key stock plans. Notably, two shareholder-submitted proposals did not pass. These included a proposal to reduce the ownership threshold required to call a special meeting and a proposal to require Form 8-K disclosure for Section 16 insider adoption, modification, or cancellation of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The overwhelming support for director nominees and auditor ratification, coupled with the rejection of these specific shareholder proposals, indicates continued confidence in the current board and management's direction.
