Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with Chairman of the Board Raymond Svider presiding over the virtual meeting and announcing preliminary voting results on four proposals.
Svider said the meeting was “duly and lawfully convened” after confirming that notice of the meeting and proxy materials had been distributed to stockholders of record as of May 13, 2026, and that a quorum was present. He noted that Broadridge Financial Services delivered an affidavit of distribution and that American Election Services served as inspector of elections.
Stockholders Vote on Director Nominees
The first proposal before stockholders was the election of five Class I directors to serve three-year terms until the company’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly nominated and qualified.
The nominees were:
- Raymond Svider
- Marco Castelli
- Nat Goldhaber
- James Nelson
- Martin H. Nesbitt
Based on preliminary results announced during the meeting, Svider said each of the director nominees was elected.
Deloitte Ratified as Independent Auditor
Stockholders also voted on the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Chewy’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year.
Svider said the audit committee selected Deloitte & Touche to audit the consolidated financial statements of Chewy and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2027. According to the preliminary results, the proposal was approved.
Executive Compensation Measures Approved
The third proposal was a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of Chewy’s named executive officers, as described in the company’s proxy statement. The materials included the compensation discussion and analysis section, related compensation tables and narrative discussion.
Svider said the proposal was approved based on preliminary voting results.
The fourth proposal was an advisory vote on how often stockholders should vote on named executive officer compensation in the future. Svider said an annual frequency received the most votes from stockholders.
Final Results to Be Filed With SEC
Svider said final voting results will be included in a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days of the meeting.
The company did not address any stockholder questions during the formal meeting. Svider said there were “no questions relevant to the business at hand” before adjourning the meeting.
