Summary
Willis Lease Finance shareholders approved a three-for-one forward stock split at a reconvened annual meeting on June 23, 2026. The proposal passed with 83.8% of votes cast in favor (6,151,386 for, 1,187,377 against, 6,752 abstentions), representing 80.9% support from the 7,605,000 shares outstanding.
Shareholders of record as of July 6, 2026 will receive two additional shares for every share held, with split-adjusted trading expected to begin July 20, 2026, pending Nasdaq approval. The stock split is a routine corporate action designed to make shares more accessible to investors by reducing the per-share price.
Each shareholder's proportional ownership and total investment value remain unchanged—the company's market capitalization stays the same, simply divided across three times as many shares. The meeting was initially held May 26 but adjourned to allow additional time to solicit votes for the split proposal. All five proxy proposals received shareholder approval, indicating broad support for management's strategic direction.
