US' Kohl's shareholders re-elect all directors at 2022 annual meeting

The nominees are Michael J. Bender, Peter Boneparth, Yael Cosset, Christine Day, Chuck Floyd, Michelle Gass, Margaret Jenkins, Thomas Kingsbury, Robbin Mitchell, Jonas O. Prising, John E. Schlifske, Adrianne T. Shapira, and Stephanie Streeter, the company said in a press release.

In addition to the re-election of directors, Kohl’s shareholders also ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022; and approved an advisory resolution on the compensation of the company’s named executive officers reported in the company’s 2022 proxy statement.

The results are considered preliminary until final results are tabulated and certified by the independent Inspector of Elections. The final certification of results will be filed as a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and will be made available on Kohl’s investor website, according to Kohl’s.

“We would like to thank our shareholders for their support throughout this proxy contest. While we have had differences with Macellum, this board is committed to serving the interests of all our shareholders. The board remains focused on running a robust and intentional review of strategic alternatives while executing our strategy to drive shareholder value. We appreciate the feedback we have received from our shareholders over the past several months and look forward to engaging with them further. We are especially thankful to Kohl’s associates, who have continued to execute on our strategy and focus on customers during this process. Kohl's has a bright future ahead,” Peter Boneparth, chairman of the board, said in a statement.
