Alector, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Alector, Inc. held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders on June 17, 2026 and filed an 8-K reporting the certified voting results for three proposals. The Class II director nominees—Elizabeth Garofalo, M.D.; Errol De Souza, Ph.D.; and Kristine Yaffe, M.D.—were elected to serve until the 2029 annual meeting. Stockholders ratified Ernst & Young LLP as Alector’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026, and approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the company’s executive compensation (Say-on-Pay).

Why It Matters
These results confirm the composition of Alector’s board through 2029 and preserve management’s continuity. Ratification of Ernst & Young as auditor secures the firm that will audit Alector’s 2026 financials. The advisory Say-on-Pay passed by a large margin, which is a positive governance signal though non-binding; significant broker non-votes on some matters (36,697,144 shares) indicate a portion of shares in street name were not voted on those proposals.
