Key Terms

4 terms

say on pay financial

"The advisory vote on executive compensation (Say on Pay) received 87.48 percent..."

Say on pay is a shareholder vote—typically nonbinding—on a company’s executive compensation package, allowing investors to approve or reject how top managers are paid. Think of it as a public performance review: widespread disapproval can signal poor governance, prompt changes to pay practices, attract activist investors, and influence investor confidence and share value. It matters because it gives owners a direct way to influence compensation that affects company incentives and long-term performance.

say on climate regulatory

"The advisory vote on approach to climate change (Say on Climate) received 88.72..."

A "say on climate" is a non-binding shareholder vote that asks investors to approve or comment on a company’s plans to manage climate-related risks and reduce emissions, such as targets and the timeline for a transition. It matters because it gives investors a formal way to signal confidence or concern about how the company is protecting long-term value from climate risks—think of it as a public thumbs-up or report card that can influence board priorities and corporate strategy.

sedar+ regulatory

"Final voting results... will be filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR..."

SEDAR+ is Canada’s centralized online system where publicly traded companies submit required regulatory documents such as financial reports, prospectuses and disclosure statements. It gives investors a single, searchable place — like a public library or online filing cabinet — to check a company’s official records for transparency, compare performance, and verify material information before making investment decisions.

edgar regulatory

"Final voting results... will be filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR..."

EDGAR is a system used by companies to share important financial and business information with the public. It functions like an online filing cabinet where investors can access official reports and documents that help them understand a company's financial health and operations. This transparency allows investors to make more informed decisions, much like checking a company's report card before investing.
