AAR shareholders approve new stock plan, leaving strategy unchanged

AAR is repositioning its aerospace aftermarket business around parts, MRO, software, and government solutions while winding down its lower-return Legacy Commercial Programs activity.

This filing does not change that operating story. Shareholders approved the 2026 Stock Plan, authorizing discretionary equity and cash-based awards for employees, directors, and other eligible service providers. The filing does not provide the share reserve or expected dilution, so the economic size of the plan cannot be assessed here.

The remaining votes are standard annual-meeting housekeeping. All Class III director nominees were elected for terms expiring at the 2029 annual meeting, and KPMG was ratified as auditor for fiscal 2027. 〔0〕 〔1〕 About 93% of eligible shares were represented, indicating broad participation rather than a contested outcome.

Bottom line: This confirms expected governance approvals but does not advance, fund, or complicate AAR’s core business transition. The only potentially material item—the new stock plan—cannot be sized from the supplied filing content.
