Morningstar elects 10 directors at annual meeting; Gail Landis does not stand for re-election
At its May 7, 2026 annual meeting, Morningstar shareholders elected all 10 director nominees, approved executive compensation on an advisory basis, and ratified KPMG LLP as the independent auditor for 2026. Director Gail Landis did not stand for re-election because she reached the company's mandatory retirement age, and the board size was set at 10 directors effective at the meeting's conclusion.
