Capstone Energy Plus Reports 2026 Annual Meeting Voting Results

What Happened Capstone Energy Plus, Inc. (CEPL) filed an 8-K on August 21, 2026 reporting the results of its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders held after the record date of July 2, 2026. At the record date there were 32,220,718 shares of common stock outstanding and 80,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (convertible into 16,203,835 shares of common stock as of the record date). Stockholders representing 20,293,123 votes — about 42% of the voting power entitled to vote — were present or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum.

Key Details

• Directors re-elected: Vincent J. Canino and John P. Miller were each re-elected as Class III directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting. Vote totals: Canino — 9,694,709 For / 870,909 Withheld (9,727,505 broker non-votes); Miller — 9,695,062 For / 870,556 Withheld (9,727,505 broker non-votes).
• Advisory say-on-pay: The non-binding advisory vote on named executive officer compensation passed — 10,127,935 For, 230,324 Against, 207,359 Abstained (9,727,505 broker non-votes).
• Auditor ratified: Stockholders ratified CBIZ CPAs PC as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 — 20,204,527 For, 56,153 Against, 32,443 Abstained (no broker non-votes).

Why It Matters These voting outcomes confirm board continuity (two incumbent directors re-elected) and maintain audit firm continuity with CBIZ for the coming fiscal year—both governance items investors monitor for stability and oversight. The advisory approval of executive compensation signals shareholder support for the company’s pay practices, but is non-binding. Voter participation (roughly 42% of voting power present or represented) and the sizable convertible preferred position (convertible into over 16 million common shares as of the record date) are material context for understanding control and future voting dynamics.
