VANCOUVER – Lululemon Athletica Inc. announced that the three directors up for election to its board received approval from shareholders during the company's annual meeting held on Thursday. The directors, Chip Bergh, Esi Eggleston Bracey, and Teri List, are set to serve on the board until the 2029 annual meeting.
In addition to the elected directors, Lululemon has revealed that Laura Gentile, the former chief marketing officer of ESPN, and Marc Maurer, the former co-CEO of On, will be joining the board. This expansion will bring the total number of board members to 11. The inclusion of Gentile and Maurer was part of a strategic agreement made with Lululemon's estranged founder, Chip Wilson, which was reached last month. This agreement was largely aimed at curbing Wilson’s recent critiques of the company.
During the annual meeting, a shareholder advisory vote concerning executive compensation was also conducted. While the proposal for executive pay received approval, it was met with significant resistance from shareholders. Specifically, the vote recorded 46,416,593 approvals but faced opposition with 27,018,492 votes against the proposal. Additionally, there were 151,486 abstentions and 1,354,452 broker non-votes recorded.
It is noteworthy that Lululemon released the results of the shareholder votes post-meeting while barring non-shareholders and the media from attending the annual general meeting. This decision has drawn attention as it limits external oversight of the proceedings.
The meeting and the decisions made have crucial implications for Lululemon's governance and strategic direction, especially with the addition of the new board members. Their expertise in marketing and business leadership may aid the company in navigating the competitive retail landscape.
