Annual General Meeting of Shareholders financial

"Clarivate Plc held its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders."

broker non-votes financial

"Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted only for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present."

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 basis financial

"Shareholders approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers."

independent registered public accountants financial

"Shareholders reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s auditors, ratified their appointment as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year 2026."

Independent registered public accountants are external auditing firms licensed to examine a public company’s financial records and issue an objective opinion on whether the financial statements are accurate and follow accounting rules. They matter to investors because their independent check is like a neutral referee confirming the score in a game — it reduces the risk of errors or misleading information and helps investors trust the financial reports used to make decisions.

quorum financial

"the holders of 559,077,435 ordinary shares were present at the meeting either in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum."

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.
