Envista Holdings Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Envista Holdings Corporation (NVST) filed an 8-K on May 21, 2026 reporting the results of its May 19, 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders elected the company’s slate of directors for one‑year terms (expiring at the 2027 annual meeting), ratified Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor, approved the advisory say‑on‑pay proposal, and approved an annual frequency for future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Key Details

• Directors elected (one‑year terms): Wendy Carruthers; Kieran Gallahue; Scott Huennekens; Vivek Jain; Paul Keel; J. Andrew Pierce; Daniel Raskas; Christine Tsingos. Example vote totals: Paul Keel — 149,459,395 For / 233,679 Withheld; Vivek Jain — 148,147,890 For / 1,545,184 Withheld. Broker non‑votes in director elections: 3,975,452.
• Auditor ratification: Ernst & Young LLP was ratified — 152,689,635 For / 913,161 Against / 65,730 Abstained.
• Say‑on‑pay (advisory): Approved — 144,475,242 For / 5,144,798 Against / 73,034 Abstained (with 3,975,452 broker non‑votes).
• Advisory vote on frequency: Shareholders chose an annual vote — One year received 139,798,463 votes (company adopted an annual say‑on‑pay policy until the next required frequency vote).

Why It Matters

• The filing confirms Envista’s board composition and governance direction for the coming year, including continued engagement on executive compensation through an annual advisory vote (a non‑binding but management‑adopted policy).
• Ratification of Ernst & Young as auditor is a routine but important governance step that ensures continuity of external financial oversight.
• These results are governance updates only; the 8‑K does not report financial results or operational changes.
