Fubo stockholders have approved a governance change that removes special protections for directors designated by the Walt Disney Company’s streaming subsidiary Hulu, according to a regulatory filing submitted Wednesday.
The vote took place during Fubo’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held Tuesday. The company disclosed the results in an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Under Fubo’s prior certificate of incorporation, directors designated by Hulu could only be removed under a heightened voting threshold. Stockholders approved an amendment eliminating that provision, allowing any director, including a Hulu designee, to be removed by a simple majority of shares entitled to vote.
Fubo filed the amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on Tuesday, and the change took effect immediately, regulatory documents show.
Hulu holds a stake in Fubo and has board representation tied to an earlier streaming arrangement between the companies. In exchange, Fubo operates Hulu with Live TV, Disney’s pay television service.
Regulatory filings released this week did not disclose Hulu’s position on the governance change or provide additional context beyond the stockholder vote.
In a related matter, Fubo’s shareholders also affirmed the appointment of the company’s new chief executive Alisa Bowen to its Board of Directors, effective today, and approved an amended and restated version of Fubo’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The revised plan adds 7 million shares of Class A common stock to the pool available for equity awards, caps incentive stock option issuance at approximately 14.6 million shares and removes the plan’s fixed expiration date.
More than 88 percent of Fubo’s shareholders participated in the annual meeting, the regulatory filings showed.
Fubo and Disney will disclose their latest financial earnings report on August 5.
