Cal-Maine Foods expands board to ten, appoints two independent directors
Cal-Maine Foods increased its board from eight to ten directors on June 23, 2026, and appointed Haley R. Fisackerly and Michael J. Highfield as independent directors. The filing says the board is now seven independent directors out of ten, and both new directors will join the Compensation, Audit, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. The appointments are a governance change rather than a financial result, and the filing reports no earnings or guidance figures.
Key points
- Board increased from eight to ten directors; Fisackerly (Class II, term to 2026 annual meeting) and Highfield (Class III, term to 2027 annual meeting)
- Each new director receives a $45,000 annual fee and a restricted stock award with a target grant date value of $100,000, vesting 100% on January 12, 2029
- Fisackerly is President and CEO of Entergy Mississippi, LLC; Highfield is Provost and Executive Vice President of Mississippi Christian University
