• CompX International (CIX) filed an 8-K on May 20, 2026 reporting results from its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Stockholders representing 95.7% of the 12,323,057 shares eligible to vote were present in person or by proxy.
• The company elected eight directors — Thomas E. Barry, Loretta J. Feehan, Terri L. Herrington, Scott C. James, Ann Manix, Gina A. Norris, Michael S. Simmons, and Mary A.

• The company also furnished a press release under Regulation FD on May 20, 2026 (filed as Exhibit 99.1).

Key Details

• Meeting date: May 20, 2026.
• Shares represented: 95.7% of 12,323,057 eligible shares.
• Director election: 8 nominees elected; each received ≥92.6% “For” votes.
• Say-on-pay: 91.4% of eligible shares voted in favor of the company’s executive compensation disclosure.

Why It Matters

• The strong votes indicate broad shareholder support for the company’s board slate and executive compensation approach, reducing near-term governance uncertainty.
• Electing a full board with high approval rates means continuity in leadership and strategy execution.
• The nonbinding nature of say-on-pay means the board may consider the result when setting future pay practices, but it does not change compensation contracts directly.
