non-binding advisory resolution regulatory

"a non-binding advisory resolution approving Colliers’ approach to executive compensation"

A non-binding advisory resolution is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion or recommendation but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a public survey: management can ignore it, but a strong vote for or against signals investor sentiment, can sway board behavior or policy decisions, and may influence market perception and future, potentially binding, actions.

Subordinate Voting Shares financial

"increase the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 1,500,000"

Subordinate voting shares are a type of company stock that typically carry fewer voting rights than regular shares, meaning holders have less influence over company decisions. They are often used to raise capital while allowing founders or main shareholders to retain control. For investors, understanding the difference helps assess their level of influence in company decisions and the potential risks or benefits of holding different types of shares.

stock option plan financial

"an amendment to Colliers’ stock option plan to increase the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares"

A stock option plan is a company program that gives employees the right to buy company shares at a preset price after a certain time, like a coupon allowing purchase later at a fixed rate. It matters to investors because these options can increase the number of shares outstanding — reducing each existing share’s ownership slice and potentially changing per-share results — while also aligning employee incentives with boosting the company’s value.

assets under management financial

"With $5.6 billion in annual revenues, 24,000 professionals, and $108 billion in assets under management"

Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.

annual and special meeting of shareholders regulatory

"at its annual and special meeting of shareholders held virtually on March 31, 2026"

A combined reference to the regular yearly gathering where shareholders vote on routine business (annual meeting) and any extra meetings called to decide urgent or specific matters (special meeting). Think of the annual meeting as the company’s yearly check-in and the special meeting as a quick boardroom session called when something important requires shareholder approval; both matter because they determine leadership, major policy, and actions that can change a stock’s value.
