RPM International Inc. (RPM) is soliciting proxies for its October 8, 2026 virtual annual meeting, where stockholders will vote on electing twelve directors to one-year terms, an advisory Say‑on‑Pay resolution, and ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for the year ending May 31, 2027.
RPM highlights record fiscal 2026 sales and continued execution of its MAP 2025 operational improvement plan, with a strategy focused on organic growth, margin expansion, disciplined investment and strong free cash flow. Capital returns remain a priority: the quarterly dividend was raised to $0.54 per share, marking 52 consecutive years of dividend increases and about $3.9 billion returned via dividends over that period, and share repurchases in fiscal 2026 totaled 699,931 shares for $77.5 million, with the repurchase authorization later increased by $700 million.
The board emphasizes governance practices including a largely independent board (11 of 12 nominees), a declassified structure with annual elections, majority voting for directors in uncontested elections, stock ownership guidelines, double‑trigger vesting for equity, and clawback policies. In the prior year, 92% of votes supported the Say‑on‑Pay proposal, and RPM continues to weight executive pay heavily toward performance-based compensation.
