Central Garden & Pet Company has announced executive compensation updates and the results of its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The company's Compensation Committee approved cash bonus payments for fiscal 2024, updating the Summary Compensation Table with new figures for named executive officers. Notable adjustments include performance-based stock awards and salary increases for several executives.

The company also conducted its annual shareholder meeting on February 12, 2025, where ten directors were elected to serve until the next annual meeting. Additionally, shareholders ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025. A proposal to amend the company’s Certificate of Incorporation to include an officer exculpation provision was withdrawn before the meeting.

Voting results indicate strong support for the director nominees, with Randal D. Lewis receiving the highest votes, while Christopher T. Metz faced the most opposition. The audit firm ratification was approved with minimal dissent.
