What Happened
R F Industries, Ltd. (RFIL) filed an 8-K disclosing the certified results of its Annual Meeting held on September 10, 2026 in Parsippany, NJ. Approximately 8,266,608 shares (about 76.20% of outstanding common stock) were present in person or by proxy. Stockholders elected Gerald T. Garland as a Class II director, approved the advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratified CohnReznick LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.

Key Details

• Meeting date and attendance: September 10, 2026; 8,266,608 shares present (≈76.20% of outstanding).
• Proposal 1 (director election): Gerald T. Garland elected — 4,802,621 FOR, 291,632 WITHHELD; 3,172,355 broker non-votes.
• Proposal 2 (advisory approval of named executive officers’ compensation, “say-on-pay”): Approved — 4,955,247 FOR, 88,299 AGAINST, 50,707 ABSTAIN; 3,172,355 broker non-votes.
• Proposal 3 (ratify auditor): CohnReznick LLP ratified — 8,193,971 FOR, 44,487 AGAINST, 28,150 ABSTAIN; no broker non-votes.

Why It Matters
The results confirm a new/continued board composition with Gerald T. Garland serving a three-year term (expiring 2029) and show shareholder support for the company’s executive compensation on an advisory basis. Ratification of CohnReznick LLP assures continuity in the company’s external audit for the coming fiscal year. Note that a substantial block of broker non-votes affected the director and say-on-pay tallies, meaning a large portion of shares held by brokers did not cast votes on those proposals.
