Say on Pay financial

"Shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (“Say on Pay”)."

Say on pay is a shareholder vote—typically nonbinding—on a company’s executive compensation package, allowing investors to approve or reject how top managers are paid. Think of it as a public performance review: widespread disapproval can signal poor governance, prompt changes to pay practices, attract activist investors, and influence investor confidence and share value. It matters because it gives owners a direct way to influence compensation that affects company incentives and long-term performance.

independent chair financial

"A shareholder proposal regarding a request for the Board of Directors to adopt a policy for an independent chair was not approved."

diversity, equity and inclusion financial

"A shareholder proposal regarding a request for a report on environmental, social and governance and diversity, equity and inclusion metrics in executive compensation plans was not approved."

broker non-vote financial

"The votes were as follows ... Votes Abstained | | Broker Non-Vote 640,988,270 | | 31,936,761 | | 2,948,328 | | 90,540,397"

A broker non-vote happens when a brokerage firm holds shares in street name for a client but does not cast a ballot on a particular shareholder item because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote that matter. Think of it like a person who owns a ticket but the ticket-holder refuses to vote on some issues; the share counts for ownership but not for that vote, which can affect whether proposals reach the required number of votes or a quorum.
