Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed July 24, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
McKesson Corporation (MCK) has filed an 8-K reporting the final results of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 22, 2026.
The filing confirms the election of all director nominees presented by the Board of Directors, with each individual receiving a substantial majority of "for" votes compared to "against" votes. Additionally, shareholders ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the upcoming fiscal year. The advisory vote to approve executive compensation also passed with a majority of "for" votes.
While the overall outcomes are positive, investors should note the varying levels of support for individual director nominees and the advisory executive compensation vote, as indicated by the number of "against" votes and abstentions. The consistent broker non-vote count across director elections suggests a stable portion of shares held in "street name."
