Summary
ChargePoint held its 2026 annual meeting on July 21 with routine governance outcomes and one notable shift in director compensation. Shareholders elected all three Class III director nominees—Bruce Chizen, Michael Linse, and Richard Wilmer—with support ranging from 86.1% to 87.5%, and ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's auditor with 97.3% approval. The say-on-pay vote passed with 84.0% support, but the 14.3% opposition is elevated compared to typical executive compensation votes and may reflect shareholder concerns about pay structure or alignment with performance that the board should consider.
Separately, the board amended the non-employee director compensation program to pay annual retainer fees in stock rather than cash, effective the same day. This shift to equity-based compensation aligns director interests more closely with shareholders and conserves cash—a practical consideration for a company managing its balance sheet. The change is procedural and does not affect director workload or governance responsibilities.

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved an amended Compensation Program for Non-Employee Directors (“Amended Compensation Program”) effective as of July 21, 2026, primarily to approve payment of annual retainer fees in shares of the Company's common stock rather than a cash basis.
ChargePoint's Board approved a change to how non-employee directors are paid their annual retainer fees. Instead of receiving cash, directors will now receive shares of the company's common stock. This shift to equity-based compensation aligns director interests more closely with shareholders and conserves cash.
