5 terms
record date financial
"As of the close of business on May 6, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting"
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.
quorum financial
"619,741 shares ... were represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, constituting a quorum"
A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
broker non-votes financial
"Votes | Votes | Broker Director | For | Withheld | Non-Votes"
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.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"the appointment of Haskell & White LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
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.
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan financial
"The Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2026 Ernexa Therapeutics Inc. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan"
A single, company-wide plan that lets a business grant different kinds of stock-based pay — such as stock options, shares that vest over time, or other equity awards — to employees, directors and consultants. It matters to investors because it determines how much of the company can be paid out in shares, how quickly those shares enter the market, and how well employees are motivated to grow the business; think of it as a toolbox or menu for paying with ownership stakes that can dilute existing holders and affect company performance.
