SEC filingFuelCell Energy elected cybersecurity entrepreneur John Livingston to its Board of Directors, effective May 19, 2026, with annual retainer and RSU award.
FuelCell Energy expanded its board to nine members with the election of John Livingston, effective May 19, 2026. Livingston brings deep expertise in cybersecurity, industrial operations, and strategy from his role as founder/CEO of Verve Industrial Protection (acquired by Rockwell Automation) and over 20 years at McKinsey & Co. His background aligns with the company's focus on resilient power solutions for data centers and critical infrastructure. As a non-employee director, Livingston will receive standard compensation: a $50,000 annual retainer, committee fees ($10,000 for Audit, Finance and Risk; $7,500 for Compensation and Leadership Development), and 5,896 RSUs vesting at the 2027 annual meeting. No material arrangements or transactions were disclosed, and his appointment fills a newly created seat. The filing also includes a press release (Exhibit 99.1) furnished under Item 7.01. Overall, this is a routine board addition with moderate investor interest given Livingston's relevant background.
