CHESS Depositary Interests financial
"including holders of the Company’s CHESS Depositary Interests, the “Common Stockholders”"
CHESS depositary interests are tradable certificates used on the Australian settlement system that represent ownership of underlying foreign shares held by a custodian. They let investors buy and sell foreign-listed stocks on the local exchange as if they were domestic shares, simplifying trading, dividend collection and record-keeping, though they may involve custodian fees and can alter certain direct shareholder rights and tax treatments.

"to serve 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.
