Douglas Emmett: Director Leslie Bider to retire; Andy Cohen elected to board

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Douglas Emmett said director Leslie E. Bider will not stand for re-election and will leave the board when his term ends at the annual meeting scheduled for May 28, 2026. The board elected Andy Cohen, Global Co-Chair of architecture firm Gensler, as a director effective April 8, 2026. The filing discloses about $2.0 million paid to Gensler in 2025, which the board said does not impair Cohen's independence, and the filing reports no financial results.

Key points

  • Leslie E. Bider will retire as a director; the company said his decision was not due to any disagreement with management or the board.
  • Andy Cohen was elected effective April 8, 2026; board size rose from 8 to 9 and will return to 8 after the May 28, 2026 annual meeting.
  • The company paid Gensler approximately $2.0 million for services in the year ended December 31, 2025; Cohen is Gensler's Global Co-Chair and Co-Chair of its board.
  • Cohen will receive a $220,000 annual retainer in LTIP units under the 2026 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval and prorated to the annual meeting.
