Summary
Vistra Corp. (VST) filed an 8-K on May 4, 2018, primarily detailing corporate governance and executive matters following their merger with Dynegy Inc. A key event was the approval of an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for CEO Curtis A. Morgan, extending his term through May 1, 2022, with automatic annual extensions thereafter. This signals continuity in leadership at a crucial post-merger stage. The filing also reports on the outcomes of the company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Directors Hilary E. Ackermann, Brian K. Ferraioli, and Jeff D. Hunter were elected, reflecting board continuity. Stockholders also approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of named executive officers and established an annual frequency for future advisory votes on executive compensation.
