Employers Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EIG), a provider of workers’ compensation insurance with a market capitalization of $1.17 billion and a GOOD financial health score according to InvestingPro, announced the outcomes of its annual stockholders meeting held on May 22, 2025. The meeting, which took place in Reno, Nevada, covered three primary agenda items, including the election of directors, advisory approval of executive compensation, and ratification of the company’s independent auditor.

The stockholders elected all nominees for the board of directors to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting. The directors elected were Katherine H. Antonello, John M. de Figueiredo, Barbara A. Higgins, Michael J. McColgan, Jeanne L. Mockard, Alex Perez-Tenessa, Marvin Pestcoe, and Steven P. Sorenson. The results showed overwhelming support for each nominee, with the majority of votes cast in favor.
