Addus HomeCare (NASDAQ:ADUS) held its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders virtually on June 10, with shareholders approving all three proposals presented, according to the meeting transcript.
Dirk Allison, chairman and chief executive officer of Addus HomeCare Corporation, called the meeting to order shortly after 10:00 a.m. Central Time and served as chairman of the meeting. Brian Poff, executive vice president and chief financial officer, served as secretary of the meeting and reviewed procedural matters for the virtual shareholder session.
Quorum Established for Shareholder Vote
Dru Anderson of FINN Partners, which assisted in distributing the proxy materials, served as inspector of election. Poff said the company had a list of shareholders entitled to vote and evidence that notice of the meeting had been properly given to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 23, 2026.
Anderson reported that shareholders represented at the meeting, either virtually or by proxy, held common stock representing at least a majority of eligible votes. Allison then declared that a quorum was present and that the meeting was legally convened and ready to conduct business.
Directors Elected to Three-Year Terms
The first item of business was the election of two Class 2 directors to serve for three-year terms or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The nominees were Michael Earley and Veronica Hill-Milbourne.
Allison said the secretary advised him that no shareholder nominations had been submitted to the company prior to the meeting in accordance with the company’s bylaws. He then declared nominations closed.
After the polls closed, Anderson reported that the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders present and entitled to vote had been cast in favor of Earley and Hill-Milbourne. Allison declared the proposal approved.
Auditor Ratified and Executive Pay Approved
Shareholders also voted to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026. Anderson reported that the proposal received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting.
The third and final proposal was an advisory, non-binding vote to approve the compensation of the company’s named executive officers. Anderson reported that this proposal also received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present and entitled to vote.
Allison declared that each proposal voted on at the meeting had been duly approved and directed that the voting results be incorporated into the meeting minutes.
