5 terms

say on pay financial

"To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (say on pay)."

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 frequency financial

"To conduct an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (say on frequency)."

broker non-votes financial

"The results of the voting were as follows"

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

"To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal 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.
