All board nominees received overwhelming support, with each securing more than 99 percent of votes cast.

April 16, 2026

Publix Super Markets, Inc. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 14, during which shareholders voted on two key matters: the election of directors and an advisory resolution on executive compensation.

Director Election Results

All eight nominees for the board of directors were elected with decisive margins. Jennifer A. Jenkins led the field with approximately 1.835 billion votes in favor, followed closely by Mark R. Irby and Randall T. Jones, Sr. The remaining nominees — Jessica L. Blume, Joseph DiBenedetto Jr., Stephen M. Knopik, Kevin S. Murphy, and David P. Phillips — each received well over 1.829 billion votes in support.

Opposition votes across the slate were minimal, with no candidate receiving more than roughly 3.7 million votes against. Each elected director will serve until the next annual meeting or until a successor is elected and qualified.

Say-on-Pay Approval

Shareholders also approved, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of the company’s named executive officers. The say-on-pay measure received approximately 1.823 billion votes in favor, with about 3.3 million votes against and roughly 10 million abstentions. The strong level of support signals broad investor confidence in the company’s approach to executive compensation.

The company noted that proxies for the meeting were solicited in accordance with federal securities regulations and that no opposing solicitations were made against management’s proposals.

Company Context

The report was signed on April 15, 2026, by David P. Phillips, who serves as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer of Publix.

Publix, headquartered in Lakeland, Florida, is one of the largest employee-owned supermarket chains in the United States. The company’s stock is not publicly traded on any exchange, and shares are available for purchase by eligible employees and board members. As previously reported, director Michael E. Graham recently added to his personal stake by purchasing more than 1,000 shares at $19.65 per share.

The near-unanimous shareholder support reflected in this year’s annual meeting results underscores the continued alignment between the company’s leadership and its broad base of employee-owners.
