Dimon Seen Keeping Chairman, CEO Roles in Preliminary Voting

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon won approval from investors to keep his chairman title in preliminary voting ahead of today’s shareholder meeting, according to two people with knowledge of the tallies.
Still, Dimon was on track to get less support for retaining the dual roles than at last year’s meeting, when 40 percent of shareholders favored an independent chairman, the people said, requesting anonymity because the count isn’t public. The outcome could change as final ballots are cast today. Joe Evangelisti, a spokesman for the New York-based lender, declined to comment on the results.
