What Happened

All nominated directors were elected to serve until the next annual meeting. The non‑binding advisory vote on executive compensation ("say‑on‑pay") was approved, Deloitte & Touche LLP was ratified as Evercore’s independent auditor for 2026, and the Fourth Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan was approved.

Why It Matters

• Director elections and auditor ratification are routine governance items that maintain board continuity and external audit oversight. The say‑on‑pay approval indicates a majority of voting shareholders supported Evercore’s executive compensation approach.
• The stock incentive plan was approved but faced substantial opposition (about 11.2 million votes against), a materially larger dissent than on other proposals; investors may watch future compensation and equity‑issuance disclosures for further detail.
