Constellation Brands expanded its board from eleven to twelve members on May 20, 2026, and elected E. Morgan Flatley, McDonald's Executive Vice President and Global Chief Marketing Officer, as an independent director. The filing involves a board seat rather than financial results, so it does not change reported earnings or guidance.
Key points

- Flatley has served as EVP, Global Chief Marketing Officer and New Business Ventures at McDonald's since February 2023
- Her director compensation will be prorated until the next annual meeting; committee assignments to be determined later
- Board Chair Chris Baldwin cited her consumer brand-building experience; the board composition returns to twelve after former CEO Bill Newlands retired in April 2026
