CARTHAGE, Mo. — At Leggett & Platt’s annual shareholder meeting held today, attendees addressed key agenda items, including the election of eight director nominees, ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company’s independent auditing firm, approval of executive compensation packages, and endorsement of amendments to the company’s flexible stock plan.
Prior to the meeting, directors Manuel Fernandez and Mark Blinn announced their retirements, effective February 25. Consequently, the board reduced its membership from ten to eight members.

Manuel’s longstanding tenure on the board has been marked by strategic acumen and steadfast leadership.
