Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation filed an 8-K on June 12, 2026 reporting the results of its June 11, 2026 annual meeting. Five directors — Jeffrey B. Lown II, Joseph Murin, Robert C. Mercer, Jr., Sharon Lee Cook, and Dale Hoffman — were re-elected to the Board. Shareholders also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the 2025 executive compensation disclosure, ratified Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as independent auditors for 2026, and rejected a proposed charter amendment that would have removed the Board’s exclusive power to amend the Company’s bylaws.

Why It Matters

• Governance: The Board’s composition remains unchanged with the re-election of all five nominees, preserving current oversight and strategic direction.
• Shareholder rights: The rejected charter amendment means the Board retains its exclusive power to amend or adopt bylaws; shareholders will not gain that proposed change at this time.
• Auditors & pay: Ratification of EY provides continuity for the Company’s financial reporting; the advisory approval of executive compensation signals shareholder support but is non-binding and does not itself change pay arrangements.
• Voting note: Large broker non-vote totals (11,592,342) appeared on several matters, which can materially affect election and proposal outcomes when many shares are held in street name without voting instructions.
