SEC filingTeradyne, Inc. held its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2026, where nine director nominees were elected, an advisory vote on executive compensation passed, and the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditor was ratified.
The 2026 annual meeting reflects routine corporate governance activity, with no contested director elections or failed proposals. All nine nominees were elected, though vote totals varied—Gregory S. Smith and Drew Henry received near-unanimous support, while Marilyn Matz and Peter Herweck faced notably higher opposition, suggesting potential concerns about board composition or oversight effectiveness. The advisory compensation vote passed comfortably (96% of votes cast in favor), but the 4.7 million votes against signal persistent scrutiny of executive pay alignment. The auditor ratification passed with strong majority support (94% of votes cast), though the 8.1 million votes against exceed typical thresholds for concern and may reflect broader dissatisfaction with audit quality or independence. Broker non-votes consistently totaled 12.5 million across director and compensation items, highlighting limitations in proxy voting mechanics for street-name accounts. No changes to board leadership, committee assignments, or governance policies were disclosed.
