Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

At Diodes' May 11, 2026 annual meeting, director Keh-Shew Lu received 38,172,374 votes withheld versus 3,455,889 votes for his election. Instead of tendering a resignation under the company's director resignation policy, he resigned from the Board effective immediately, and the Board named Angie Chen Button Chairwoman. The change in board leadership and the withheld-vote result are governance matters for shareholders, and the filing reports no financial figures.
