2026 Annual Meeting date September 23, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time Scheduled date and time of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders
Record date for voting August 7, 2026 Date at close of business when stockholders must be of record to vote

2025 proxy statement filing date April 4, 2025 Date the definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting was filed
record date regulatory
"The Board has fixed the close of business on August 7, 2026 as the record date"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
Rule 14a-8 regulatory
"A stockholder who wishes to present a proposal for inclusion pursuant to Rule 14a-8"
Rule 14a-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that lets eligible shareholders put proposals on a public company’s proxy ballot for an annual meeting, provided they meet basic ownership and filing requirements. It matters to investors because it creates a formal way to raise governance or strategic issues and force a company-wide vote—like getting an item onto the agenda of a neighborhood association meeting once you’ve lived there long enough—so shareholders can push for change or influence management decisions.
Section 1.11 of our By-laws regulatory
"The notice must contain the requirements described under Section 1.11 of our By-laws"
Rule 14a-19 regulatory
"including, as appropriate, those set forth in Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act"
Rule 14a-19 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that governs how independent proxy advisory firms produce and distribute voting recommendations for shareholders. It requires these advisers to provide companies with notice of their recommendations and a chance to respond, and to disclose certain conflicts; think of it as a referee ensuring both sides see a game plan before fans cast votes. Investors care because proxy advisers influence voting outcomes and corporate governance, so the rule affects transparency, potential bias, and the reliability of guidance that many investors rely on when voting shares.
public announcement regulatory
"which is the tenth day following the date of the public announcement of the date"
