non-binding advisory vote financial
"Proposal 3—Non-Binding Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation."
A non-binding advisory vote is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion on a proposal (such as executive pay, corporate policy, or governance practices) but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals whether owners approve or disapprove and can pressure boards and managers to change course, so investors watch the result as an indicator of governance risk and potential future shifts in company strategy or leadership.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Proposal 2—Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm."
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company |"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K amends Item 5.07 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2026 (the “Original Form 8-K”) solely to correct an administrative error in the Original Form 8-K. Due to an inadvertent technical issue, the Original Form 8-K omitted the actual number of shares voted and the percentage of shared entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2026 Annual Meeting”) and omitted the numerical voting results for the matters considered and voted upon at the 2026 Annual Meeting. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

FAQ
What did City Holding Company (CHCO) change in this amended 8-K/A?
City Holding Company corrected its earlier report of the 2026 Annual Meeting by adding the actual share counts and percentages for each voting item. The amendment supplies complete numerical results for director elections, auditor ratification, and the advisory vote on executive compensation that were omitted previously.
Were City Holding Company (CHCO) directors elected at the 2026 annual meeting?
Yes. All nominated directors in Classes II and III received more votes “for” than “against” and were elected. Individual support levels varied, but each nominee—Robert D. Fisher III, Charles R. Hageboeck, James M. Parsons, Javier A. Reyes, and B. Scott Raynes—secured clear majority approval.
Why was the original City Holding Company (CHCO) 2026 meeting report amended?
The original report omitted key numerical details because of an inadvertent technical issue. It lacked the actual number of shares voted, the percentage of shares entitled to vote, and the numerical results for each proposal. The amendment supplies those missing figures without changing any previously reported outcomes.
