"Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes 1,512,304,895 | 21,260,133 | 911,177 | 142,176,341"
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.
advisory basis financial
"Our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the 2025 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers."
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) 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.
Record Date financial
"as of the close of business on April 8, 2026 (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.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)."
