Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"On May 27, 2026, NCS Multistage Holdings, Inc. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders"

independent registered public accounting firm financial

"ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP 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.

broker non-votes financial

"Broker Non-Votes 285,928"

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

"approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers"
