"David B. Roberts received a vote of 18,888,412 shares for, 1,250,012 shares withheld and 1,197,877 broker 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.
advisory vote on the compensation financial
"an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026"
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.
