GLAUKOS Corp 8-K

What Happened
Glaukos Corporation (GKOS) filed a Form 8‑K reporting the results of its annual meeting held May 28, 2026. Stockholders elected two Class II directors (terms through the 2029 annual meeting), approved a non‑binding advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratified Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

Key Details

• Director elections (Class II, term to 2029):
  • Denice M. Torres — For: 40,843,317; Withheld: 11,169,168; Broker Non‑Votes: 3,024,243.
  • Aimee S. Weisner — For: 49,397,952; Withheld: 2,614,533; Broker Non‑Votes: 3,024,243.
• Advisory vote on named executive officer compensation (say‑on‑pay): For 47,653,794; Against 4,272,830; Abstain 85,861; Broker Non‑Votes 3,024,243.
• Auditor ratification: Ernst & Young LLP ratified as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 — For 54,476,088; Against 515,703; Abstain 44,937. (No broker non‑votes on this proposal.)

Why It Matters
The results finalize the company’s board composition for the Class II seats through 2029 and show shareholder support for management’s pay practices in a non‑binding advisory vote. The large majority for ratifying Ernst & Young confirms the auditor for the 2026 fiscal year. Note the presence of roughly 3.02 million broker non‑votes on the director and compensation items, which indicates some shares held by brokers did not participate in those non‑routine votes; broker non‑votes do not affect the auditor ratification vote.
