Cooper-Standard updates on executive compensation plan

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CPS), a leading manufacturer of automotive components with a market capitalization of $425 million, announced the approval of an amended executive compensation plan and the results of its annual stockholders’ meeting, which took place on Thursday. The company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum, delivering an 82% return year-to-date, though according to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears to be trading in overbought territory.

The stockholders approved the Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. This plan, which was recommended by the board of directors, is detailed in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed on April 3, 2025. The approval comes as InvestingPro data shows the company maintaining a "GOOD" overall financial health score, despite facing profitability challenges in recent quarters.

During the annual meeting, the stockholders also voted on several key proposals. They elected directors to the board for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of stockholders. The directors elected include John G. Boss, Jeffrey S. Edwards, Richard J. Freeland, Adriana E. Macouzet-Flores, David J. Mastrocola, Christine M. Moore, Robert J. Remenar, Sonya F. Sepahban, and Stephen A. Van Oss.

An advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, received approval from stockholders. Additionally, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, was ratified.

Cooper-Standard’s commitment to transparency and good governance is reflected in these actions, ensuring that the interests of the stockholders are represented in the company’s strategic decisions.

This information is based on a press release statement and the full details of the voting results, along with the approved Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, are available in the company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2025.
