Key Details

• Auditor ratification: KPMG LLP was ratified as CBRE’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 — 255,196,778 for; 7,357,550 against; 227,451 abstaining. (No broker non‑votes.)
• Advisory "say‑on‑pay": Approved by 230,735,191 for; 21,828,542 against; 761,067 abstaining. There were 9,456,979 broker non‑votes on this proposal.
• Special meeting proposal: A shareholder proposal to allow stockholders to call special meetings was rejected — 85,999,804 for; 166,814,496 against; 510,500 abstaining. There were 9,456,979 broker non‑votes.

Why It Matters
The vote confirms CBRE’s board slate and corporate governance direction for the coming year and retains KPMG as auditor, which maintains continuity in financial oversight. The advisory approval of executive compensation passed, but with more than 21.8 million votes against, indicating a measurable level of shareholder dissent. The rejection of the special‑meeting proposal means shareholders do not gain the ability to call special meetings. Broker non‑votes on non‑routine items (about 9.46 million) show that some shares held by brokers were not voted on certain proposals, which can affect the effective voting pool for those items.
