GL · Globe Life Inc.

Globe Life Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 30, 2026, where several significant governance matters were decided. In a notable leadership transition, Directors Linda L. Addison and Marilyn A. Alexander retired from the Board effective the meeting date. Concurrently, shareholders elected 12 directors for one-year terms. While the specific 'For' vote counts for individual directors were not explicitly totaled in the summary, the 'Against' votes ranged from approximately 59 million to 62 million, indicating the election proceeded as planned.

Shareholders approved the advisory resolution on 2025 executive compensation ('Say-on-Pay') and the new Globe Life Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan. The company affirmed its commitment to annual advisory votes on executive compensation, with the next frequency vote scheduled for 2029.

A significant outlier in the voting results was Proposal IV, regarding the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor. Shareholders overwhelmingly voted against ratification, with 67,622,465 votes 'Against' compared to only 3,212,321 'For'. This rejection signals potential concerns regarding the auditor relationship or fees, which may require the Board and the Audit Committee to re-evaluate the external auditor appointment process or engage with shareholders to address the underlying issues.
