Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)."

broker non-votes financial

"as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, if applicable, with respect to each such matter"

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.

Equity Incentive Plan financial

"10.1 | 2026 Equity Incentive Plan"

An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.

Restricted Stock Agreement financial

"10.2 | Restricted Stock Agreement for 2026 Equity Incentive Plan"
