Hexcel Announces Director Departure and Shareholder Votes

Hexcel Corp filed an 8-K with the SEC on May 15, 2026, disclosing a director departure under Item 5.02, shareholder voting results under Item 5.07, other events under Item 8.01 and related exhibits under Item 9.01.

The filing identifies one board-level change. Per Item 5.02, a named director departed the board; the document states the effective date and any cited cause. Item 5.07 reports the specific matters submitted to a vote of security holders at the annual meeting, including the precise vote tallies for each proposal.

The operational delta shifts the board from its prior composition to a reduced membership until any replacement is elected. The departure takes effect on the date stated in the filing. Standard SEC rules require the company to update its board structure in subsequent proxy or 10-K filings as applicable.

Downstream effects include the immediate need for Hexcel to evaluate whether the departure creates any committee vacancies under exchange listing standards and to determine the timeline for filling the seat. The company must also incorporate the shareholder vote outcomes into its next definitive proxy statement or Form 10-K risk-factor updates where director election results affect governance disclosures.

Markets and data providers receive the new board composition for index and governance ratings recalculations that occur on standard quarterly cycles.

This marks the latest board change for Hexcel, a manufacturer whose products supply aerospace and defense programs. The filing follows routine annual-meeting timing for public companies with calendar-year cycles. The full text appears in the SEC EDGAR archive under accession 0001140361-26-021511.
