Annual Meeting regulatory
"On May 8, 2026, we held our annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)"
A company's annual meeting is a yearly gathering where owners (shareholders) and the board review performance, ask questions, and vote on key matters like electing directors, approving auditor choices, and sometimes setting pay or dividend policies. For investors it matters because decisions made and votes cast can change who runs the company, influence strategy and payouts, and affect the value or direction of their investment—similar to a homeowners’ meeting where rules and leaders that shape your property’s value are decided.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"to ratify the selection of Baker Tilly US, LLP as our 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
"Name | For | Withheld | 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.
ratified regulatory
"Baker Tilly US, LLP was ratified as our independent registered public accounting firm"
"Ratified" means officially approved or confirmed, often through a formal process. When an agreement, decision, or rule is ratified, it becomes legally binding and recognized as final. For investors, ratification signals that an agreement or change has been validated, providing assurance that it is official and enforceable.
