Summary
PACCAR Inc filed an 8-K on April 28, 2016, reporting on key corporate governance and executive compensation matters that occurred around April 25-26, 2016. A significant development was the approval and subsequent stockholder approval of amendments to the company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. These changes eliminate the classified board structure, moving towards an annual election of directors upon the expiration of their current terms. This shift is a move towards greater director accountability to shareholders. Additionally, the filing details the Compensation Committee's approval of Long Term Performance Cash Awards (LTIP Cash Awards) for Named Executive Officers for the 2013-2015 cycle, recalculating their total compensation to include these awards.
