record datefinancial
"as of the close of business on April 23, 2026, the record date for the meeting"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
broker non-votesfinancial
"26,847,647 withheld, and 3,674,263 broker non-votes"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
independent registered public accounting firmregulatory
"to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young AS as DHT’s independent registered public accounting firm"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
proxyregulatory
"were present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting"
A proxy is the authorization a shareholder gives to another person or document to cast votes on their behalf at a company meeting. Think of it like handing someone your voting ticket so they can represent your choices on board elections, executive pay, mergers and other big decisions; it matters because proxies determine who controls the company and which proposals pass, directly affecting share value and investor returns.
