AGM 2026
May 11, 2026
Good morning. I'm R. Chris Kreidler, the incoming Chair of the company's Board of Directors. I want to thank you for participating in TrueBlue's annual shareholder meeting today. I want to extend my thanks to the members of the Board of Directors for providing their expertise for the benefit of TrueBlue and its shareholders. There's information about each Board member's background and professional experience in TrueBlue's proxy statement and on the company's website. For details about the company's recent financial results, please refer to the company's most recently filed Form 10-K and earnings release, which can also be found on the company's website. For today's official business, I'll introduce our Chief Legal Officer, Garrett R. Ferencz.
Thank you, Chris. In accordance with the applicable legal requirements, notice of this annual meeting, the electronic availability of the proxy statement, and instructions for voting proxies were mailed on or about April 14th, 2026. To the holders of common stock of the company issued and outstanding of March 23rd, 2026, the re-record date for this year's meeting. The company has appointed Broadridge as inspector of elections for this meeting, represented by Andrew Wilcox, who is participating in today's meeting. Mr. Wilcox has signed his customary oath of office, which will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. All proxies received by the company have been presented to the inspector of elections. The inspector of elections has informed me that a quorum is present at the meeting.
Prior to the start of this meeting, proxies representing 27,069,137, or 89% of total outstanding shares have been received. We are now ready to proceed to the matters listed in the notice of meeting, and the polls are now open. Any shareholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so now by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there. Shareholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. There are 4 proposals for approval by the shareholders. The first involves the election of directors. The nominees have been made and are set forth in the proxy statement.
The nominees are William Goings, William M. Greenblatt, Kim Harris Jones, Chris Kreidler, Sonita Lontoh, Taryn Owen, Paul Reitz, Kristi A. Savacool, and William Seward. Your board recommends a vote in favor of each nominee. The second proposal is to approve by non-binding vote the company's executive compensation. Your board recommends a vote for approval of this proposal. The third proposal is to approve the amendment and restatement of the company's 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Your board recommends a vote for approval of this proposal. The fourth and final proposal is the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accountants firm for the fiscal year 2026. Your board recommends a vote for approval of this proposal. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I now declare the polls for the TrueBlue annual shareholding meeting closed.
The polls are now closed for voting. The results based on the proxies and ballots that have been voted indicate that all 4 proposals have received sufficient affirmative votes to be approved as recommended by the board of directors. The final vote tabulations will be published by the company on a Form 8-K within 4 business days. Thank you very much. I'll now turn the meeting over to Chris.
Thank you, Garrett. We would like to open things up for shareholder questions. We will take shareholder questions that are being entered today on the web portal. Please note we will attempt to answer as many questions as time allows, but only questions that are germane to the meeting will be addressed.
Chris, there are no questions at this time. Thank you.
Thank you, Garrett. We thank you for your attendance today and continued support. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the annual meeting of shareholders of TrueBlue, Inc. is now adjourned.
That concludes our meeting today. You may now disconnect.
