SEC filingSilvaco Group, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 22, 2026, where seven director nominees were elected; vote totals and withhold percentages varied across nominees, with Dr. Walden C. Rhines receiving the lowest support at approximately 74% of votes cast.
The Annual Meeting resulted in the re-election of all seven director nominees, confirming board continuity. However, the vote results reveal meaningful variation in shareholder support: Dr. Walden C. Rhines received the lowest FOR vote count (17.5M) and highest WITHHOLD count (5.7M), representing 24.5% of votes cast — substantially above the withhold rates for other nominees, which ranged from 1.7% (Anita Ganti) to 17.5% (Iliya Pesic). While all directors were elected given plurality voting rules and no majority requirement is disclosed, the elevated dissent for Dr. Rhines may signal investor concerns about board composition, oversight, or strategic direction. The meeting achieved a 74% turnout relative to the February 25, 2026 record date, suggesting moderate engagement. No other proposals — such as advisory votes on executive compensation, ratification of auditors, or equity plan approvals — were disclosed, limiting the scope of governance-related disclosures in this filing.
