Service Corporation International announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share of common stock on August 5, 2026. The dividend is payable on September 30, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2026.
The company states that it intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, but each dividend, including record and payment dates, is subject to final Board determination after reviewing financial performance and factors such as financing agreements, tax laws, cash needs, and overall financial condition.
Service Corporation International explains its response after Mr. Watts, Lead Independent Director and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, received less than a majority of votes cast for his re-election at the 2026 annual meeting. Under its Majority Voting Policy, he submitted a conditional offer to resign, requiring review.
The committee contacted the 25 largest institutional shareholders, representing more than 65% of outstanding shares; 11 shareholders representing over 41% participated and did not question Mr. Watts’ fitness, instead focusing on certain governance changes. Weighing this feedback, his qualifications and past and expected contributions, and proxy advisor recommendations that related to governance rather than his service, the committee recommended rejecting his offer. On July 29, 2026, the Board, with Mr. Watts recused, unanimously rejected the resignation, and he is expected to continue serving until the 2027 annual meeting.

Service Corporation International updated its corporate governance documents following shareholder approval at its annual meeting. On May 6, 2026, shareholders approved amendments to the company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, based on recommendations from the Board of Directors.
The amended Articles and Bylaws, effective May 7, 2026 and May 6, 2026 respectively, now permit the Board to increase the number of directors and fill newly created vacancies directly, instead of requiring shareholder action at an annual or special meeting. The changes also reduce the minimum size of the Board from nine directors to three, while keeping the maximum at fifteen directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review this outcome under the company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and make a recommendation to the Board, which will then publicly disclose its decision.
Shareholders approved PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for 2026, the advisory vote on executive compensation, amendments to reduce the minimum number of directors and allow the Board to fill new vacancies, and the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan. An amendment to limit officer liability as permitted by law was not approved.
