Etsy Inc. Reports 2026 Annual Meeting Voting Results

What Happened
Etsy, Inc. filed an 8-K on June 12, 2026 reporting the results of its June 9, 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All Class II director nominees were elected to serve until Etsy's 2029 Annual Meeting. Stockholders also approved an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation, ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor for 2026, and approved an amendment to increase shares available under Etsy’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. A stockholder proposal to require majority-vote governance was rejected.

Key Details

  • Director elections (terms until 2029):
    • M. Michele Burns — For: 63,855,817; Against: 3,953,492; Abstentions: 65,397; Broker non-votes: 11,030,237.
    • Josh Silverman — For: 64,027,414; Against: 3,787,027; Abstentions: 60,265; Broker non-votes: 11,030,237.
    • Fred Wilson — For: 46,407,021; Against: 21,394,732; Abstentions: 72,953; Broker non-votes: 11,030,237.
  • Advisory vote on named executive officer compensation: For 62,788,368; Against 5,012,269; Abstentions 74,069; Broker non-votes 11,030,237.
  • Ratification of independent auditor (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) for fiscal year 2026: For 78,173,008; Against 431,515; Abstentions 300,420.
  • Amendment to Etsy’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (increase in shares available) approved: For 40,813,424; Against 26,995,586; Abstentions 65,696; Broker non-votes 11,030,237.
  • Stockholder proposal to adopt majority-vote governance rejected: For 7,584,750; Against 59,798,856; Abstentions 491,100; Broker non-votes 11,030,237.

Why It Matters
These votes confirm Etsy’s board slate and governance choices for the next three years and uphold management’s compensation approach (advisory approval). Ratifying PwC keeps the company’s auditor in place for 2026. Approval of the equity plan amendment increases the pool of shares available for employee and executive awards, which can affect future share-based compensation practices. The rejection of the majority-vote proposal means Etsy will retain its current voting standard for director elections.
