Unwavering Confidence: Shareholders Back Camden's Vision for Growth

Shareholders Unanimously Endorse Key Company Initiatives

At the 2026 virtual annual meeting, shareholders of Camden Property Trust demonstrated their strong support for the company's direction by approving every proposal. These approvals included the re-election of the trust's managers, a consultative vote on executive remuneration, the endorsement of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm, and the ratification of two updated equity plans. The meeting, presided over by Executive Chairman Richard J. Campo, adhered to Texas law and the company's bylaws by being conducted virtually, with all necessary disclosures regarding forward-looking statements and potential risks made.

Reaffirming Leadership: Trust Managers Secure Re-election

The re-election of the company's trust manager nominees was a significant outcome of the shareholder meeting. Notables such as Richard J. Campo, D. Keith Oden, and Alexander J. Jessett, among others, were successfully re-appointed. Josh Lebar, Camden's senior vice president, general counsel, and secretary, confirmed that a quorum was established with over 50% of the common shares outstanding represented. The preliminary results indicated overwhelming support, with Alexander J. Jessett receiving more than two-thirds of the votes and all other nominees securing at least 50% of the votes cast, thus ensuring their continued tenure.

Approvals Across the Board: Compensation, Auditors, and Equity Frameworks

Beyond the re-election of managers, shareholders also provided advisory approval for the compensation packages of Camden's executive officers, a decision largely based on proxies submitted prior to the meeting. Furthermore, Deloitte & Touche LLP was officially ratified as the company's independent accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year, receiving majority shareholder consent. Crucially, two equity-related proposals, previously adopted by Camden's board on February 26, 2026, were also given the green light. These included an amended and restated 2018 share incentive plan and an amended and restated 2018 employee share purchase plan, both of which secured a majority of the votes.

Optimistic Forecasts: Management Anticipates Robust Market Rebound

In his concluding remarks, Alexander Jessett, a key executive, expressed strong confidence in Camden's strategic positioning within "high-growth, high-demand markets." He highlighted the company's diverse product offerings and dedicated teams as foundational to future success. Jessett pointed out that the recent surge in apartment supply is being rapidly absorbed, while new construction starts have significantly decreased across Camden's operational areas. He also emphasized the robust financial health of Camden's consumer base, noting that renters are dedicating a low percentage of their income to rent and possess higher earnings and savings compared to pre-COVID levels. These factors, combined with strong job creation and population growth in Camden's markets, are expected to pave the way for a substantial recovery. The meeting concluded after it was confirmed that no shareholder questions had been submitted at that time.
