What did ABM (ABM) announce from its 2026 annual stockholder meeting?

ABM reported voting results from its March 25, 2026 annual stockholder meeting. Stockholders elected 12 directors and approved two additional proposals, each receiving substantially more votes in favor than against, indicating broad support for the company’s board and management recommendations.

Were ABM (ABM) director nominees elected at the 2026 meeting?

Yes, all 12 ABM director nominees were elected at the 2026 annual meeting. Each nominee, including Scott Salmirs and other board members, received more votes "for" than "against," with vote totals for most nominees exceeding 50 million shares in favor.

How many votes supported ABM’s largest additional proposal in 2026?

One of ABM’s additional proposals received 52,415,179 votes for, 2,426,546 against and 38,606 abstentions. These results show a strong majority in favor of the proposal among votes cast, with only a relatively small portion of shares voting against or abstaining.

What were the vote totals on ABM’s other 2026 proposal with broker non-votes?

Another ABM proposal received 48,442,064 votes for, 2,231,511 against and 37,397 abstentions, plus 4,169,359 broker non-votes. Broker non-votes typically arise when intermediaries cannot vote uninstructed shares on certain matters, but the proposal still passed comfortably.

Did any ABM (ABM) director face significant opposition in the 2026 vote?

All ABM directors were elected, though support levels varied. For example, Art A. Garcia received 46,431,962 votes for and 4,262,340 against, while several other nominees received over 50 million votes for and fewer than 400,000 votes against, indicating generally strong board support.

What does the presence of broker non-votes mean in ABM’s 2026 results?

Broker non-votes totaled 4,169,359 shares on certain ABM proposals. These occur when brokers hold shares in street name but lack instructions to vote on specific non-routine items. They reduce the counted votes on those items but did not prevent approval here.
