3 terms

broker non-votes regulatory

"Votes for each director include 1,841,845 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.

advisory (non-binding) resolution regulatory

"The proposal to approve an advisory (non-binding) resolution relating to the compensation of the named executive officers was approved."

An advisory (non-binding) resolution is a shareholder vote that expresses investors’ opinion or recommendation to a company’s board but does not legally force any action. Think of it as a public poll or suggestion: it can influence management decisions, reputation, and future binding measures because persistent investor opposition often prompts change. Investors watch these votes to gauge corporate governance, potential risks, and whether management is aligned with shareholder priorities.

independent registered public accounting firm regulatory

"The appointment of CohnReznick LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027 was ratified."

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.
