"Robert A. Bradway | 490,089,100 | 51,733,670 | 3,851,304 | 113,043,796"

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 basis financial

"2. Approve, on an Advisory Basis, Named Executive Officer Compensation"

independent auditor financial

"Ratify the Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Independent Auditor for 2026"

An independent auditor is an outside, qualified accounting professional or firm that examines a company's financial records and controls to determine whether its financial statements are accurate and prepared according to accepted accounting rules. Like a neutral referee or home inspector, the auditor issues a report that gives investors confidence (or raises red flags) about the reliability of the numbers, which affects assessments of risk, valuation and investment decisions.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders financial

"The Boeing Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 17, 2026."

A yearly gathering where a company’s owners (shareholders) vote on key items like electing the board, approving executive pay, and ratifying auditors, and receive updates on performance and strategy. Think of it as an annual town hall for owners: it matters to investors because outcomes and disclosures can affect leadership, corporate direction, dividend and governance policies, and therefore the company’s risk and potential return.
