STATE STREET CORP 8-K

What Happened
State Street Corporation announced that its Board of Directors elected Susan Gordon as an independent director effective March 19, 2026. Ms. Gordon was also appointed to the Board’s Examining and Audit Committee and its Technology and Operations Committee. The 8-K was filed March 23, 2026.

Key Details

• Ms. Gordon will receive a pro rata share of the 2025–2026 director cash retainer of $110,000 and the common stock retainer of $235,000.
• The pro-rated stock award will be based on State Street’s NYSE closing stock price on the date of her election.
• There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Gordon and any other persons related to her election.
• Ms. Gordon is eligible to enter an indemnification agreement on the same form used for other non-employee directors.

Why It Matters
Board changes can affect governance, oversight and shareholder confidence. Adding an independent director with committee assignments strengthens the board’s audit, technology and operations oversight. The disclosed pro rata pay and indemnification terms clarify the immediate financial and legal protections for the new director, which are standard items investors monitor in corporate governance disclosures.
