Analysis Summary

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. conducted its annual meeting of stockholders on May 22, 2025, addressing key governance matters. Shareholders successfully elected two Class I directors for terms expiring in 2028: Gary Bowman, with 6,234,017 votes For, and Stephen Riddick, with 3,242,068 votes For. Additionally, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, was overwhelmingly ratified with 13,658,544 votes For.

Post-meeting, the Board of Directors implemented a notable governance restructuring by separating the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. James Laurito, an existing independent director and former Chair of the Compensation Committee, was elected as the new independent Chair of the Board. Gary Bowman will continue in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer and a director. This move is generally perceived as a positive step towards stronger independent oversight. Concurrently, Patricia Mulroy, also an independent director, was appointed as the new Chair of the Compensation Committee. Stephen Riddick and Raymond Vicks, Jr. will maintain their roles as Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, respectively.
