Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) of Exelon Corporation was held on April 26, 2022. Shareholders of record as of March 1, 2022, were entitled to receive notice and vote at the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders:
•Elected each of the 9 director nominees to the Board of Directors for a one-year term,
•Ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Exelon’s independent auditor for 2022, and
•Approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in Exelon’s 2022 Proxy Statement.
The fourth proposal as presented in Exelon’s 2022 Proxy Statement was a shareholder proposal requesting a report on the impact of Exelon’s plans involving electric vehicles and charging stations with regard to child labor outside the United States and was not properly presented for a vote because the proponent failed to present the proposal at the Annual Meeting.
