Urban Outfitters shareholders approve stock plan; say-on-pay vote every three years
At its May 23, 2017 annual meeting, Urban Outfitters shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, which allows up to 10,000,000 common shares to be delivered as equity awards, and re-elected all nine director nominees. Shareholders also recommended holding future advisory say-on-pay votes every three years, but the board has not yet decided and will disclose its determination by October 5, 2017, after about 500,000 late proxies that would have favored an annual vote were excluded.

- All nine director nominees were elected to terms expiring at the 2018 annual meeting; Edward N. Antoian received 101,874,511 votes for.
