The latest update is out from Popular ( (BPOP) ).

At its May 8, 2026 annual meeting, Popular’s shareholders approved amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that modernize indemnification provisions, add exculpation protections for directors and officers to the extent allowed under Puerto Rico law, and remove legacy language tied to pre-2023 director election procedures. The board also conditionally adopted, and upon shareholder approval made effective, amended and restated by-laws aligned with these indemnification changes, while the corporation filed the updated charter with Puerto Rico authorities the same day, signaling a tightening of governance protections for leadership.

Shareholders re-elected eleven directors to one-year terms, approved the indemnification modernization and director/officer exculpation proposals, backed the advisory say-on-pay vote for named executive officers, and ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditor for 2026. The strong support across all five proposals underscores investor endorsement of Popular’s governance framework, executive compensation practices, and audit oversight, reinforcing stability and continuity for stakeholders.
