ABM INDUSTRIES INC /DE/ 8-K

What Happened ABM Industries Incorporated filed an 8-K on March 25, 2026 reporting the results of its annual meeting of stockholders held that day. All 12 board nominees were elected to serve until the 2027 annual meeting: Quincy L. Allen, LeighAnne G. Baker, Carol A. Clements, Donald F. Colleran, James D. DeVries, Art A. Garcia, Thomas M. Gartland, Jill M. Golder, Barry A. Hytinen, Sudhakar Kesavan, Scott Salmirs and Winifred M. Webb. Stockholders also voted, on an advisory basis, to approve executive compensation (say-on-pay) and ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as ABM’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026.

Key Details

• Director elections: all 12 nominees elected; vote totals varied (example: Quincy L. Allen — 50,319,257 for / 377,274 against; Art A. Garcia — 46,431,962 for / 4,262,340 against). Broker non-votes of 4,169,359 were recorded for the director and say-on-pay votes.
• Advisory approval of executive compensation (say-on-pay): 48,442,064 for, 2,231,511 against, 37,397 abstain; broker non-votes 4,169,359.
• Ratification of independent auditor (KPMG LLP for fiscal 2026): 52,415,179 for, 2,426,546 against, 38,606 abstain.
• Proxy statement referenced: ABM’s definitive proxy filed February 13, 2026.

Why It Matters These outcomes confirm the company’s board composition and governance items for the coming year and provide shareholder approval (advisory) of executive pay and formal ratification of the auditor—routine but material governance votes investors monitor. Notable dissent on certain director and compensation votes (millions of “against” votes) can signal shareholder concerns to watch in future filings and proxy materials. The 8‑K is signed by David R. Goldman, Vice President and Corporate Secretary, and filed March 25, 2026.
