SEC filingCarrier Global Corporation held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareowners on April 15, 2026, where all ten director nominees were elected and two advisory proposals—on executive compensation and auditor ratification—were approved by shareholders.
The 2026 Annual Meeting confirmed stable corporate governance: all ten director nominees were elected with substantial majority support, and no nominee received more than 2.2% 'Votes Against', reflecting broad shareholder confidence in board composition and oversight. The advisory say-on-pay proposal passed with 91.7% support among votes cast (excluding broker non-votes), signaling alignment between executive compensation design and shareholder expectations. Auditor ratification achieved 99.4% support among votes cast, reinforcing continuity in financial reporting oversight. Broker non-votes—consistent at 54.9 million across director elections and the compensation proposal—reflect standard NYSE proxy rules permitting brokers to vote on routine matters only when instructed; their absence from the auditor vote underscores its non-routine classification. No contested proposals, dissident nominations, or governance-related shareholder proposals were disclosed, indicating absence of material governance friction.
