Kemper Corp shareholders approve new stock incentive plan

CHICAGO - Kemper Corporation (NYSE:KMPR) announced the approval of an amended incentive plan and the results of its annual shareholder meeting, based on a recent SEC filing. At the meeting held on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, shareholders approved the Second Amended and Restated Kemper Corporation 2023 Omnibus Plan (the "Second A&R Plan"), which increases the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by 625,000 shares.

The Second A&R Plan was detailed in the company’s proxy statement filed on March 26, 2025, and is now incorporated by reference into this report. The plan is designed to provide equity-based compensation to eligible employees, officers, and directors as part of Kemper’s long-term incentive strategy.

In addition to the incentive plan, the election of directors took place with all ten nominees named in the proxy statement securing their positions on the board. The advisory vote to approve the compensation of the company’s Named Executive Officers also passed, as did the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Kemper’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025.

The detailed voting results for each proposal were provided in the filing, including the number of votes for, against, abstentions, and broker non-votes. These results reflect shareholder support for the company’s corporate governance and executive compensation policies.
