Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"On May 18, 2026, the Company held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders."

broker non-votes financial

"There were 1,788,538 broker non-votes as to Proposal No. 1."

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

"ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche 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.

advisory vote financial

"Proposal No. 3. Advisory vote regarding approval of the compensation paid"

An advisory vote is a shareholder poll that expresses investors’ approval or concern about a company’s policy, executive pay, board decisions or other governance matters but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals investor sentiment and can pressure management to change course, so investors watch the result as a guide to future governance, risk and potential shifts in strategy.

named executive officers financial

"approval of the compensation paid by the Company to its named executive officers"

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.
