Bruker Corporation disclosed that director Cynthia M. Friend will not stand for re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting, though she will serve out her term, and that its board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable April 7, 2026. The filing also says Jack Phillips was re-elected as a Class II director after stepping down from Class III, with his board service treated as uninterrupted since January 1, 2026.
