Summary
Bank of America held its 2026 annual meeting on May 4, with shareholders voting on governance matters and two shareholder proposals. All twelve director nominees were re-elected with strong support ranging from 93.5% to 98.9% of votes cast.
CEO Brian Moynihan received the lowest director support at 93.5%, though this still represents a healthy approval level with nearly 5 billion votes in favor against 346 million opposed. Shareholders also approved the advisory say-on-pay vote with 95.3% support, signaling satisfaction with executive compensation practices. The auditor ratification passed with 93.2% support.
Two shareholder proposals failed: an independent board chair proposal received 32.6% support, and an animal welfare oversight report garnered only 6.5%. The vote results reflect routine annual meeting outcomes with no governance concerns for retail holders. The strong director and say-on-pay support indicates shareholder confidence in current management and board structure.
