"ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP 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.
broker non-votes financial
"FOR | AGAINST | ABSTENTIONS | BROKER NON-VOTES 27,921,229 | 1,781,260 | 87,386 | 3,685,426"
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 basis financial
"A proposal seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of a resolution approving the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers"
named executive officers financial
"the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement"
Named executive officers are the senior company leaders whose names, roles and compensation are singled out in required regulatory filings; this typically includes the chief executive, chief financial officer and the next highest‑paid senior officers. Investors treat this list like a team roster — it shows who makes key decisions, how they are paid and whether incentives align with shareholder interests, so changes or pay patterns can signal governance quality, risk or strategic shifts.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis financial
"including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table, and the related compensation tables"
A compensation discussion and analysis is a section in corporate filings that explains how and why executives and other key employees are paid, linking pay choices to company goals, performance measures and risk controls. Investors use it like a company’s playbook for pay to judge whether incentives reward long-term value or encourage short-term risk-taking; clear explanations help assess alignment between management’s interests and shareholders’ returns.
