On May 13, 2026, The Southern Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, where key votes included the election of board members and approval of executive compensation, with significant support for most proposals (e.g., 95.24% for executive compensation). The proposal to add preferred stock and amend the Certificate of Incorporation was also approved with 65.07% and 60.91% respectively, but other stockholder proposals did not pass due to low support.
