Fed Governor Adriana Kugler to resign
NEWARK, NJ – Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (NYSE:PEG), a $40.3 billion utility company currently rated as overvalued according to InvestingPro analysis, held its annual meeting of stockholders on Tuesday, where a series of proposals were put to a vote, including the election of directors, executive compensation, and amendments to the company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.
The stockholders re-elected all of management’s nominees to the Board of Directors, with terms expiring in 2026. The advisory vote on executive compensation was also approved. The company has demonstrated strong shareholder returns, maintaining dividend payments for 55 consecutive years and raising them for the past 13 years straight - one of several key insights available through InvestingPro’s comprehensive analysis tools. However, proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws that would eliminate supermajority voting requirements did not receive the necessary 80% affirmative vote and were therefore not approved. These included changes to the requirements for business combinations, director removal without cause, and certain amendments to the By-Laws.
Deloitte & Touche LLP was ratified as PSEG’s independent auditor for the year 2025.
The final voting results indicated strong support for the elected directors, with votes in favor significantly outnumbering votes against and abstentions. The proposal to approve executive compensation received over 338 million votes for, compared to approximately 22 million against.
The amendments to alter supermajority voting requirements, however, fell short of the required votes for approval. For instance, the proposal to eliminate supermajority voting for certain business combinations garnered over 356 million votes for, yet still did not meet the threshold for change.
The ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor was passed with over 383 million votes in favor, 33 million against, and about 1.1 million abstentions.
The meeting, which was organized in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Act of 1934, did not feature any solicitation of proxies in opposition to the management’s recommendations.
