Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"On June 18, 2026, Aeva Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders."
Class II nominees financial
"Proposal 1 - Election of the Class II nominees named in the Proxy Statement to the Company’s Board of Directors"
broker non-votes financial
"The number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, if applicable, in respect of each such proposal is set forth below"
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
"Proposal 2 - Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026"
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.
