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
