quorum financial
"80,605,074 shares of the Company’s common stock, which constituted a quorum to conduct business"
A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratify the appointment of Elliott Davis, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 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.
record date financial
"As of April 23, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 89,796,993 shares"
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.
non-votes financial
"Name | For | Withheld | Non-votes Heather M. Cozart | 66,662,862 | 2,429,770 | 11,511,542"
Non-votes are shares present at a shareholder meeting for which no affirmative or negative choice is recorded, either because the owner abstains or an intermediary lacks authority to cast a ballot. Think of it as people in a room who listen but don’t raise a hand; they reduce the number of active votes and can change whether a proposal meets the required approval threshold. Investors watch non-votes because they affect outcomes and signal shareholder disengagement.
