The three sale agreements are with one existing Poseidon shareholder and two new strategic investors, and each sale transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and third‑party consents.

Fairfax Financial Holdings is holding its annual shareholder meeting on April 16, 2026 as a hybrid event in Toronto and via live webcast. Shareholders will vote to elect directors, appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor, and consider a shareholder proposal from the Salal Foundation, which the board recommends voting against.
The circular details director biographies, committee memberships and 2025 attendance, along with board and executive compensation. Non-management directors generally receive a $75,000 annual retainer plus additional committee retainers and subsidiary board fees, with equity incentives granted on previously issued shares to avoid dilution.
Named executive officers receive salary, discretionary cash bonuses and long-term option awards under an equity compensation plan that uses only market-purchased subordinate voting shares. For 2025, strong performance described as record financial results led the Compensation Committee to set executive bonuses at 250% of base salary. CEO V. Prem Watsa continues to receive only a fixed $600,000 annual salary with no bonus or equity incentives, aligning additional “compensation” with his share ownership.
