V2X director Steven Waechter leaves board at annual meeting; board cut to nine seats
At the May 7, 2026 annual meeting, Class III director Steven L. Waechter's term ended after he was not renominated under the company's policy requiring directors to be 75 or younger. The board shrank from ten members to nine, and shareholders re-elected three Class III directors, ratified RSM US LLP as auditor for fiscal 2026, and approved executive pay on an advisory basis. The filing says Waechter's departure did not stem from any disagreement with the company, and the votes reflect routine governance matters.
