Netflix Shareholders Vote Out Board Member, Venture Capital Investor Jay Hoag In Rare Repudiation, Streamer Considering Whether To Accept His Resignation
In a year marked by some high-profile instances of shareholder activism, Netflix stockholders have voted director Jay Hoag, a venture capital investor, off the board. The vote follows a recommendation by leading proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services. ISS, which issues deep-dive analyses of issues up for vote at the annual meetings of many public companies, including the election of directors, had recommended a vote against Hoag for poor attendance – or failing to show up for at least 75% of his total board and committee meetings in 2024 without disclosing the reason for the absences. More from Deadline Runway's AI Film Festival, On Hallowed Ground At New York's Lincoln Center, Honors 'Total Pixel Space' 'The Bold And The Beautiful' Leaving Television City After 38 Years, Will Continue To Film In Los Angeles Gavin Newsom Suggests That "Maybe It's Time" To Cut Off California's Share Of Federal Taxes Amid Report That Trump Seeks To Cancel State Grants He received just 21.6% support among votes cast, a rare instance of shareholders rejected a board candidate. Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted in large numbers against the company's compensation of its top executive officers led by CEO David Zaslav. His $51.9 million package did not pass a so-called say-on-pay vote, which is non binding but a definite red flag. 'Jay Hoag failed to attend at least 75 percent of the total meetings of the board and committee on which he served during the fiscal year under review. Specifically, Hoag only attended 50 percent of such meetings. The board did not disclose the reason for his absences. Directors who do not attend their board and committee meetings cannot be effective representatives of shareholders. When a director fails to attend at least 75 percent of the aggregate of his or her board and committee meetings, adverse vote recommendations will be issued with respect to that director in the absence of a valid reason. Accordingly, support for Jay Hoag is not considered warranted due to poor attendance,' ISS wrote in its report last month ahead of the June 5 shareholder meeting. Netflix noted today in an SEC filing that Hoag 'did not receive a majority of votes cast in his election to the board of directors. In accordance with the Company's director resignation policy, on June 5, 2025, Mr. Hoag offered his resignation from the Board, conditioned upon Board acceptance. In accordance with the Resignation Policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board will consider Mr. Hoag's resignation and recommend to the Board regarding whether to accept or reject the resignation or take other action. The Board will act on the Committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and rationale within 90 days from the date the election results are certified.' The results of the shareholder vote set out in the filing showed 71.4 million votes for and almost 260 million votes against the director, who also sits on the boards of Peloton, Zillow and TripAdvisor. At Netflix, he served as the lead independent director serving on the nominating committee and governance committee, where he was the chair. He's been a Netflix board member since 1999. 'As a venture capital investor, Mr. Hoag brings strategic insights and financial experience to the Board. He has evaluated, invested in and served as a board member for numerous companies, both public and private, and is familiar with a full range of corporate and board functions. His many years of experience in helping companies shape and implement strategy provide the Board with unique perspectives on matters such as risk management, corporate governance, talent selection and management,' read the Netflix proxy, an annual filing where companies lists all the directors up for reelection. Hoag has also been a technology investor and venture capitalist for more than 40 years, the giant streamer noted, ' involved in numerous technology investments, including Actuate Software (acquired by OpenText), Airbnb, Ariba (acquired by SAP), Altiris (acquired by Symantec), BlueCoat Systems (formerly CacheFlow), C|NET, eHarmony, Electronic Arts, Encompass (acquired by Yahoo!), EXE Technologies (acquired by SSA Global), Expedia, Facebook, Fandango (acquired by Comcast), Groupon, LinkedIn, ONYX Software, Peloton, Prodege (parent company of Swagbucks & acquired by a private equity firm), RealNetworks, Sportradar, Spotify, SpringStreet (acquired by Strava, TechTarget, TripAdvisor, (acquired by Expedia), Viant (acquired by iXL), and Zillow.'

How To Make Microwave Salmon: 5-Minute Recipe
In the age of air fryers, we've forgotten about the OG kitchen hero: the microwave. Chef Mic has been whipping up meals faster than you can say 'fish fillet' long before convection became trendy. That said, microwaving fish? It's the one culinary act we've all agreed is a crime against humanity. But when I saw Tasty had a microwave salmon recipe, I decided to reject modernity, embrace tradition, and take the bait. And since I live alone, there's no one around to report my fish felony to the food police. What surprised me wasn't the fact that it used the microwave; it was the speed. Five minutes?! Sounded a little fishy, literally. How could that possibly be enough time to cook salmon all the way through to 145°F? Turns out, salmon's naturally rich, fatty makeup (shoutout omega-3s) makes it weirdly microwave-friendly. Add a splash of liquid and you've got some steam. Then, Chef Mic locks it in, creating a mini salmon spa session that cooks the fillet to moist, flaky, fin-tastic perfection. To make it, place your salmon fillet in a microwave-safe dish and season generously with salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning for that smoky-sweet contrast. Hey, you! Wanna cook this recipe in step-by-step mode? Download the free Tasty app right now. Pour a bit of apple juice and soy sauce around the fish (not directly on top), then cover the dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (not foil, obvi), leaving a small gap for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. Let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes before diving into perfectly cooked, tender, flaky, and shockingly good salmon. The sweet, salty, smoky flavor was way more complex than you'd expect from a microwave. The apple juice adds subtle sweetness, the soy sauce gives it depth, and the BBQ rub makes it taste like you reeled in something special, without breaking a sweat. With just one dish, cleanup's a breeze, too. No burnt pans, no fishy trays, and best of all: no lingering seafood smell! I lit a candle just in case, but didn't even need it. Chef Mic kept things effortless and odorless. No matter what's in your fridge, this salmon recipe will make a splash. It's quick, customizable, and pairs swimmingly with just about any seasoning. Feeling fancy? Add dill, capers, and a few lemon slices before cooking. Want some spice? A splash of sriracha, a spoonful of gochujang, or a pinch of chili flakes does the trick. Need a base? Serve it over rice, toss it into a salad, layer it onto noodles, or tuck it into a soft tortilla. This microwave salmon hack is clutch when you're short on time, low on energy, or just trying to avoid turning your kitchen into a sauna. It's a weeknight lifesaver, a heatwave hero, and the perfect fix for those 'I'm hot, I'm tired, and I need protein in five minutes' moments of dinner despair. It's also great for beginner cooks, college students with limited gear, or anyone feeding hungry eaters on a tight timeline. Kids love the speed. Parents love the simplicity. No flames, no fuss, no dish pileup. Just Chef Mic, quietly delivering a hot meal like the dependable, electromagnetic legend it is.
