Broadcast TV station ownership group Sinclair Inc., also the parent of Dielectric and a key leader in the push toward ATSC 3.0 digital broadcast transition, has won shareholder approval for its entire slate of board members.
The June 5 annual shareholders’ meeting saw those holding “SBGI” elect the slate of nine nominated company directors, ensuring Executive Chairman and Board Chairman David Smith retains a seat. Also winning new terms are VP and Director Frederick Smith, VP/Director and Secretary J. Duncan Smith, Robert E. Smith, Laurie Beyer, Howard Friedman, Daniel Keith, Benson Legg and Dr. Benjamin Carson.
The annual meeting of Sinclair stockholders also saw the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Furthermore, shareholders approved a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation; and approved the amendment to Sinclair’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Articles of Incorporation to expand the definition of “Permitted Transferees” of the company’s Class B Common Stock.
A tabulation of the votes on these matters will be included in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
