annual meeting of stockholders financial

"At Liberty Broadband Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 11, 2026, the following proposals were considered"

broker non-votes financial

"The number of votes cast for, against or withheld, as well as the number of abstentions and broker non-votes as to each proposal are set forth below"

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 auditors financial

"a proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026"

Independent auditors are outside, licensed accountants who examine a company’s books, records and internal controls and issue an objective opinion on whether the financial statements accurately reflect the business’s financial position. Investors treat their report like a neutral inspector’s stamp — it increases trust, makes financial results easier to compare, and alerts readers if there are errors, omissions or other problems that could affect investment decisions.
