broker non-vote financial

"For | Withheld Authority | Broker non-vote Corey M. Horowitz | 13,312,724"

A broker non-vote happens when a brokerage firm holds shares in street name for a client but does not cast a ballot on a particular shareholder item because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote that matter. Think of it like a person who owns a ticket but the ticket-holder refuses to vote on some issues; the share counts for ownership but not for that vote, which can affect whether proposals reach the required number of votes or a quorum.

Say on Pay financial

"approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the Company’s named executive officer compensation (known as “Say on Pay”);"

Say on pay is a shareholder vote—typically nonbinding—on a company’s executive compensation package, allowing investors to approve or reject how top managers are paid. Think of it as a public performance review: widespread disapproval can signal poor governance, prompt changes to pay practices, attract activist investors, and influence investor confidence and share value. It matters because it gives owners a direct way to influence compensation that affects company incentives and long-term performance.

independent registered public accounting firm financial

"ratify the appointment of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. 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.

non-binding advisory vote financial

"approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the Company’s named executive officer compensation"

A non-binding advisory vote is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion on a proposal (such as executive pay, corporate policy, or governance practices) but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals whether owners approve or disapprove and can pressure boards and managers to change course, so investors watch the result as an indicator of governance risk and potential future shifts in company strategy or leadership.
