CNH Industrial N.V.

Sergio Marchionne and Richard J. Tobin were re-elected as executive directors. Mina Gerowin, Suzanne Heywood, Léo W. Houle, Peter Kalantzis, John Lanaway, Silke C. Scheiber, Guido Tabellini, Jacqueline A. Tammenoms Bakker and Jacques Theurillat were re-elected as non-executive directors. 

Shareholders also renewed authorization for the Board to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares on April 14, 2017. The authorization is an instrument available to the Board of Directors, but places no obligation on the Company to repurchase its own shares.

Also, shareholders approved amending CNH Industrial’s non-executive Directors’ Compensation Plan and remuneration policy to provide that all compensation paid to non-executive directors be paid only in cash.
