BellRing Brands streamlines corporate governance

ST. LOUIS, MO - BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR), a $10 billion market cap company whose stock has surged nearly 55% over the past six months, has announced significant changes to its corporate governance structure, following approval from its shareholders during the annual meeting held on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.

According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value, despite strong financial metrics. The food products company reported the successful amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, resulting in the declassification of its Board of Directors.

The amendments, which were detailed in the company’s proxy statement filed on December 17, 2024, and supplemented on January 3, 2025, were ratified by shareholders and became effective with the filing of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 31, 2025.

InvestingPro data shows the company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 2.91, indicating liquid assets well exceed short-term obligations. This move simplifies the company’s governance by allowing for the annual election of all directors rather than a staggered, multi-year term system.

During the virtual annual meeting, shareholders cast their votes on several key proposals. The proposal to declassify the Board received overwhelming support, with 99.9% of votes cast in favor. Additionally, all nominated directors were elected to serve until the 2026 annual meeting, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was ratified as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025 with 99.7% approval.

Furthermore, the company’s executive compensation received a strong endorsement, with 96.0% of votes in favor. However, a stockholder proposal to adopt a director election resignation guideline was rejected, with only 19.1% of votes cast in support.
