OPTICAL CABLE CORP 8-K

What Happened

• Optical Cable Corporation (OCC) filed an 8‑K reporting results from its annual meeting held March 31, 2026 in Roanoke, VA. Shareholders elected five directors (Neil D. Wilkin, Jr.; Randall H. Frazier; John M. Holland; John A. Nygren; Craig H. Weber), ratified Crowe LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm, and approved, on a non‑binding advisory basis, the compensation of the company’s named executive officers. After the formal meeting, CEO Neil Wilkin delivered a brief presentation (filed as Exhibit 99.1) that the company furnished but did not "file" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Why It Matters

• The meeting confirms board continuity with all five nominees elected and retains Crowe LLP as OCC’s auditor, which preserves the company’s existing accounting oversight. The non‑binding shareholder approval of executive pay indicates majority shareholder support for current compensation practices, though it does not change pay directly. The CEO’s furnished presentation may include business or strategic updates for investors but, per the filing, is not subject to the liabilities of a filed disclosure.
