Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. (Nasdaq: REFI) filed a Form 8-K disclosing the results of its 13 June 2025 Annual Meeting. The only business conducted was Item 5.07 (submission of matters to a vote of security holders).
Board elections: Shareholders re-elected all seven directors to serve until the 2026 meeting. Most nominees received near-unanimous support, but voting patterns were uneven:
- Anthony Cappell and Peter Sack each received roughly 8.52 million “FOR” votes and less than 1% withheld.
- Elizabeth Stavola secured 8.54 million “FOR” votes with 0.7% withheld.
- John Mazarakis saw 12.4% withheld (1.06 million) against 7.54 million “FOR”.
- Brandon Konigsberg and Michael L. Steiner each faced about 20% withheld (≈1.72 million) on 6.88 million “FOR”.
- Jason Papastavrou recorded the lowest support, with 3.62 million votes withheld—approximately 42% of the 8.60 million shares voted on his seat.
Broker non-votes totaled 5.48 million for every director, meaning 39% of outstanding shares were not entitled to vote on the election proposal.
Auditor ratification: BDO USA, P.C. was confirmed as independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2025 with 13.95 million votes “FOR” (99.1%), 36 k “AGAINST” and 99 k abstentions. No broker non-votes were recorded on this item.
No other matters, financial statements, or major transactions were presented. The filing therefore has limited operational impact, but the elevated withhold percentages against certain directors may signal shareholder governance concerns that the company could need to address ahead of next year’s meeting.
