viemed healthcare shareholders approve key amendments and director elections

Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ:VMD), currently trading at $6.59 near its 52-week low of $6.13, announced today that its shareholders approved several significant proposals during the Annual General and Special Meeting held on June 5, 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a GREAT financial health score of 3.24 out of 5, demonstrating strong operational fundamentals despite recent stock performance. The meeting, which took place in Lafayette, Louisiana, included votes on amendments to the company’s long-term incentive plan and the election of directors.

Shareholders approved an amendment to the 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which was initially endorsed by the Board of Directors on April 9, 2025. The amendment increases the maximum number of common shares available under the plan, clarifies vesting conditions in the event of a change in control, and establishes a minimum one-year vesting period for all awards. This approval aligns with the company’s strategic goals to enhance its compensation structure.

In the election of directors, all seven nominees were elected to serve until the next annual meeting. The directors elected include Casey Hoyt, W. Todd Zehnder, William Frazier, Randy Dobbs, Nitin Kaushal, Timothy Smokoff, and Sabrina Heltz. The voting results showed strong support, with most nominees receiving over 90% of the votes cast in their favor.

Additionally, shareholders approved the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The company’s board retains the authority to determine the auditors’ remuneration.

The meeting also included a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, known as the "say-on-pay" vote, which received 97.85% approval from shareholders. Furthermore, shareholders agreed that future advisory votes on executive compensation should occur annually.

This information is based on a press release statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of the company’s 8-K filing. The decisions made during the meeting reflect Viemed Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to aligning its corporate governance practices with shareholder interests.
