Insights
Shareholders backed all proposals, including a move from Delaware to Texas.
eXp World Holdings received stockholder support across its 2026 meeting agenda. All nominated directors were elected, the outside auditor Deloitte & Touche LLP was ratified, and executive pay for 2025 received majority approval on an advisory basis.
The most structural change is approval of redomestication from Delaware to Texas by conversion, which met two separate voting thresholds with 80,344,882 and 39,978,016 votes cast in favor. The filing characterizes these tallies as preliminary, so subsequent disclosures may refine final counts but not the directional outcome.
