Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"On June 22, 2026, AudioEye, Inc. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders online via live webcast."
record date financial
"As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 12,493,415 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding."
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-votes financial
"Dr. Katherine Fleming ... 7,152,196 ... 81,520 ... 0 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.
advisory (non-binding) basis financial
"To approve the 2025 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an advisory (non-binding) basis."
