COLUMBUS, Ind. — Shareholders of Cummins Inc. have voted in favor of directors nominated by the company’s board but rejected proposals to tie executive compensation to climate performance and split the chairman and chief executive officer roles.
The votes took place during the Cummins’ annual investor meeting on Tuesday, which was held virtually, and came just one week after the Columbus-based company reported record revenue during the first three months of the year and raised its revenue forecast.
The slate of 12 director nominees included Cummins President and CEO Jennifer Rumsey and Cummins Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman Tom Linebarger, the only Cummins employees on the board. The remaining board members come from outside the company.
Rumsey has been a director since last year, while Linebarger has been a director since 2009.
