CURTISS WRIGHT CORP 8-K

What Happened

• Curtiss-Wright Corporation (filed May 8, 2026) announced the voting results from its Proxy Statement dated March 26, 2026 for the 2026 Annual Meeting. Nine nominees were elected to the Board of Directors with the vote totals reported for each nominee. Deloitte & Touche LLP was ratified as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. An advisory "say-on-pay" vote approving executive compensation was also approved by shareholders.

Key Details

• Directors elected (selected vote totals): Jeffrey J. Lyash — FOR 29,635,478 / WITHHELD 154,397; Peter C. Wallace — FOR 25,147,247 / WITHHELD 4,642,628. (All nominees listed in the filing were elected.)
• Auditor ratification: Deloitte & Touche LLP — FOR 31,748,612; AGAINST 1,699,576; ABSTENTIONS 27,113.
• Advisory approval of executive compensation ("say-on-pay"): FOR 27,921,229; AGAINST 1,781,260; ABSTENTIONS 87,386; BROKER NON-VOTES 3,685,426.

Why It Matters

• Board composition: Election results determine the company’s board that will oversee strategy and corporate governance going forward; notable variation in withheld votes (largest for Peter C. Wallace) may be of interest to investors tracking shareholder sentiment.
• Auditor confirmation: Ratifying Deloitte & Touche as the independent auditor confirms continuity in financial reporting oversight for 2026.
• Executive pay approval: The affirmative say-on-pay vote indicates shareholder support for the company’s disclosed executive compensation practices; the reported broker non-votes quantify shares that did not participate in that advisory vote.
