Target Shareholders Reject Board Split Proposal, Elect All 12 Nominees; Cornell Remains Executive Chair
Summary
Target shareholders at the 2026 Annual Meeting elected all 12 board nominees to one-year terms. Critically, investors rejected a proposal to split the board chair and executive roles, with only 38.1% support. This outcome means Brian Cornell will remain executive chair, maintaining the current leadership structure. This follows earlier activist investor efforts to challenge the company's governance, and the vote confirms shareholder support for the existing management arrangement.
