208,210,735 votes back Ameren pay plan and board
ameren shareholders cast 208,210,735 votes for executive compensation at the company’s May 14, 2026 annual meetings, backing the board’s pay program on an advisory basis. The vote also left all Ameren director nominees in place and kept PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
9,383,298 votes went against executive pay, with 951,507 abstentions, showing that the compensation plan drew a meaningful minority of resistance even as it cleared by a wide margin. For shareholders, the result preserves the current governance setup across Ameren Corporation and its utility subsidiaries rather than forcing a reset.
Ameren Missouri draws 102,123,834 votes
102,123,834 votes supported each of the five Ameren Missouri director nominees, and none drew withheld votes, abstentions or broker non-votes. That clean result gave all five nominees election support at the utility’s annual meeting.
25,452,373 votes backed each of the five Ameren Illinois nominees, again with no withheld votes, abstentions or broker non-votes. The two utility meetings therefore produced the same outcome: every board nominee advanced without a recorded challenge in the vote totals provided.
PwC gets 232,732,466 votes
232,732,466 votes supported ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, while 9,840,141 votes were cast against and 492,793 abstentions were recorded. The auditor approval covers the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, giving the company continuity in its external audit oversight.
Five director nominees were elected at Ameren Missouri and five at Ameren Illinois, and individual support for Ameren director nominees generally exceeded 200 million votes for each candidate. Even so, the sizable broker non-vote totals for director nominees show that the board vote was not as unanimous in the broader shareholder base as the raw for-vote counts suggest.
May 14 closes the vote
May 14, 2026 now stands as the date when shareholders settled Ameren’s board, compensation program and auditor for the year ahead. That leaves the company operating with the same director lineup and the same accounting firm while the advisory pay vote records the clearest pocket of dissent in the results.
