On December 8, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of
Colgate-Palmolive Company (“Colgate”) elected Mr. Charles A. Bancroft,
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Global Business
Operations of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“Bristol-Myers Squibb”), to
the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2017. Mr. Bancroft, 57,
will bring extensive leadership experience and financial expertise to
Colgate’s Board. Mr. Bancroft joined Bristol-Myers Squibb in 1984 and
has since held positions of increasing responsibility within the finance
organization, including international assignments, as well as senior
leadership positions in their global pharmaceutical business. Mr.
Bancroft was appointed Chief Financial Officer in 2010 and has served in
his current role since 2016. Prior to joining Bristol-Myers Squibb, Mr.
Bancroft was an auditor with KPMG.
Beginning in 2017, Mr. Bancroft will receive compensation in accordance
with Colgate's director compensation program for non-employee directors.
Currently those arrangements include an annual cash retainer of $65,000,
an annual award of shares of common stock equal in value to $180,000 and
an annual grant of options to purchase shares of common stock equal in
value to $45,000, as well as other aspects of the director compensation
program described in Colgate's proxy statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2016.
On December 8, 2016, Richard J. Kogan advised the Board that he will not
stand for reelection to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held in 2017, in light of his desire to retire as a director at
the end of his current term.
