Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"On June 4, 2026, Bumble Inc. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders exclusively online via live audio webcast."

independent registered public accounting firm financial

"The stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young 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.

broker non-votes financial

"There were no broker non-votes on this matter."

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) vote financial

"Proposal 3: Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote To Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation."

named executive officers financial

"The stockholders approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement."

Named executive officers are the senior company leaders whose names, roles and compensation are singled out in required regulatory filings; this typically includes the chief executive, chief financial officer and the next highest‑paid senior officers. Investors treat this list like a team roster — it shows who makes key decisions, how they are paid and whether incentives align with shareholder interests, so changes or pay patterns can signal governance quality, risk or strategic shifts.
