broker non-votes financial

"Abstentions | | Broker Non-Votes 95,338,552.00 | | 1,322,740.00 | | 30,031.45 | | 0"

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 firm financial

"ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year"

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.

named executive compensation financial

"approved, on an advisory basis, the named executive compensation as described in the 2026 Proxy Statement"

Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 2, 2026"

Proxy Statement financial

"which are further described in the 2026 Proxy Statement"

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.
