Latest analysis

Updated Sep 29, 2026

Korn Ferry stockholders approve 1.4M share plan increase and extend equity incentive program to 2036.

Korn Ferry shareholders voted unanimously to increase the equity pool available under the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan by 1,400,000 shares and extended the plan's term to September 24, 2036. The company simultaneously shifted non-employee director compensation from a share-based limit to an annual cash limit, a structural change reflecting evolving governance posture on equity dilution and cash compensation mix. All nine board nominees were re-elected with strong support, and Ernst & Young was ratified as auditor for fiscal 2027.

Read filing description ↓

Korn Ferry is a global consulting firm that powers individual and business performance. For more than 50 years, Korn Ferry has studied how people and organizations perform. With decades of workforce intelligence and real-world experience, we've built a deep understanding of what drives organizational success, what gets in the way and what needs to change. We put that insight into practice every day. Korn Ferry works across the full organization—from strategy and leadership to hiring, development, rewards, and the roles, skills and workforce models needed for the future. While many firms address individual parts of that system, we look across and connect them. By aligning leaders, teams and organizations around a common definition of success, we help organizations make better decisions, execute with confidence and achieve stronger outcomes. Clients increasingly engage us through integrated, multi-year relationships that span a broad range of offerings and scalable delivery models. The business is organized around three connected elements: Foundational Assets, Capabilities and Integrated Solutions. Together, they allow us to connect insight, expertise and execution to help clients address complex business challenges. Our Foundational Assets are the proprietary data, science and IP that inform our work and help clients make better people and organizational decisions. We deliver services through five solution areas: Consulting, Digital, Executive Search, Professional Search & Interim, and RPO. As of April 30, 2026, Korn Ferry had 98 offices in 51 countries.
