Item 5.02Item 5.02 - Departure/Election of Directors
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan The annual meeting of the stockholders of Methode Electronics, Inc. (“Methode” or the “Company”) was held on September 16, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). A description of the terms and conditions of the 2026 Plan is set forth in “Proposal Two, Approval of the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan” in the Company’s 2026 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”), and such description is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions set forth herein and in the Proxy Statement are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the 2026 Plan, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Director Conditional Resignation and Rejection Mr. Blom received less than a majority of the votes cast for his election to the Board at the Company’s Annual Meeting. Accordingly, pursuant to the resignation policy set forth in Section 4(b) of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Mr. Blom tendered his conditional resignation to the Board. In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “N&G Committee”) considered Mr. Blom’s tendered resignation and recommended that the Board reject the resignation. Subsequently, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to reject Mr. Blom’s resignation. Mr. Blom did not participate in the N&G Committee’s recommendation, or the Board’s decision, regarding his resignation or future Board service. In reaching this decision, the N&G Committee and the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (1) Mr. Blom’s extensive leadership experience as chief executive officer of a large healthcare system, including on transformations; (2) his experience as a director of public companies; (3) his tenure on the Board and service on the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee; and (4) that proxy advisory firm voting recommendations against Mr. Blom’s election were due to director attendance at Board meetings and that Mr. Blom has attended all of the Board and Committee meetings so far in fiscal 2027. As a result, Mr. Blom will continue to serve as a member of the Board until the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or other removal.
