SEC filingKKR & Co. Inc. stockholders approved four charter amendment proposals at a special meeting on April 21, 2026, but adjourned Proposal 1 requiring 90% approval (received 85.97%) to May 21, 2026.
At the April 21, 2026 special meeting, KKR & Co. Inc. stockholders approved Proposals 2 through 5, which amend the Existing Charter to streamline governance by making stockholder meetings the exclusive voting forum, empowering the Board to unilaterally fill vacancies and set its size, and allowing adjournment for proxy solicitation. These changes, effective on the Sunset Date after Delaware filing, reduce procedural complexities and enhance Board flexibility, potentially aiding efficient decision-making for investors. Proposal 1, seeking to eliminate supermajority (90%) requirements for charter amendments, fell short at 85.97% support despite strong backing of 766 million votes, prompting adjournment to May 21 via webcast. This reconvened vote targets the same record holders from February 24, 2026, offering a narrow window for additional proxies to reach the threshold. The Series I preferred stock's affirmative votes bolstered support across all items. Investors should monitor the reconvened meeting outcome, as Proposal 1 passage would lower barriers to future charter changes, aligning governance more closely with majority will.
