Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Graham Holdings Company (GHC) elected Robert J. Mylod, Jr. to its Board of Directors on November 5, 2026. The board determined that he qualifies as an independent director under New York Stock Exchange listing standards, but had not yet determined whether he would serve on a board committee. The company stated that Mylod has no family relationships with its directors or executive officers, no related-party transactions with him, and no arrangement or understanding with another person concerning his selection.

His compensation as a non-employee director will be consistent with that of the company’s other non-employee directors: an annual cash retainer, a portion of which directors may elect to receive as fully vested Class B common shares, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for meetings he attends. The company’s 2026 proxy statement describes its non-employee director compensation practices.
