Insights

Equity compensation & governance analyst

Shareholders approved a new equity plan and routine proposals.

The meeting confirmed board composition, executive pay alignment, auditor ratification, and adoption of a new equity incentive plan. The plan permits various equity awards and authorizes up to 21,164,945 shares, replacing the 2023 plan. This establishes the company’s framework for long‑term compensation.

Voting outcomes were comfortably favorable across items. Director nominees received strong support, the say‑on‑pay advisory vote passed, and KPMG LLP was ratified for the fiscal year ending May 30, 2026. Equity plan approval provides capacity for future grants; actual issuance depends on board decisions and performance conditions.

Without issuance details or grant schedules, immediate financial effects are not specified in the excerpt. Future disclosures will outline grant activity and any resulting share issuance under the new plan.
