Stockholders elected three Class I directors—Christopher Britt, Shawn Carolan and James Dunne—to serve until the 2029 annual meeting, ratified Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026, approved the company’s named executive officer compensation on a non-binding advisory basis, and voted to hold future non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation every one year.

Why It Matters
These voting outcomes confirm the composition and continuity of Chime’s Board through 2029, secure auditor continuity with EY for the coming year, and signal investor support for the company’s executive pay practices and for annual “say-on-pay” votes. For retail investors, this reflects governance stability and ongoing shareholder engagement on compensation, but does not change Chime’s reported financial results.
