broker non-votes financial
"Director Nominees | | 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.
advisory and non-binding basis financial
"approved, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche 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.
2016 Incentive Award Plan financial
"approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan to increase the number of shares"
quorum financial
"which constituted a quorum"
A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
