Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 2, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company”) elected C. David Myers to the Board, effective that day, as part of the class with a term expiring at the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, fixing the number of directors of the Company at 10. Mr. Myers has been appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee and its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.
The Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Myers qualifies as an independent director under the Company’s director independence standards and the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Myers and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. Additionally, there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Myers that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Myers will receive compensation in accordance with the Company's standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described under the caption "Director Compensation" in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), as adjusted by the Board from time to time. Specifically, in connection with his election as a director, Mr. Myers received an award of 755 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock having a grant date fair value of approximately $160,000.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 3, 2023, the Company held its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders (i) elected all three of the directors nominated by the Board, (ii) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers for 2022 as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, (iii) approved, on an advisory basis, the annual frequency of holding an advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and (iv) ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. Each of these proposals is further described in the Proxy Statement. Final voting results on each proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting are as follows:
