4 terms
broker non-votes financial
"Broker non-votes were not treated as a vote for or against any particular director nominee nor the advisory vote on executive compensation."
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.
non-binding advisory vote financial
"Proposal 2 — Non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers"
A non-binding advisory vote is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion on a proposal (such as executive pay, corporate policy, or governance practices) but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals whether owners approve or disapprove and can pressure boards and managers to change course, so investors watch the result as an indicator of governance risk and potential future shifts in company strategy or leadership.
2021 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan financial
"Proposal 3 — Approve an amendment to the 2021 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Ratification of the appointment of Crowe LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for year ended 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.
