2026 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Reed’s, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"The Company’s stockholders ratified the appointment of Weinberg & Company P.A. 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
"as well as the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each matter"
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 vote financial
"The Company’s stockholders passed the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers"
An advisory vote is a shareholder poll that expresses investors’ approval or concern about a company’s policy, executive pay, board decisions or other governance matters but does not legally force the company to act. Think of it like a customer survey: it signals investor sentiment and can pressure management to change course, so investors watch the result as a guide to future governance, risk and potential shifts in strategy.
frequency of stockholder advisory votes financial
"The Company’s stockholders voted three years for the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on the compensation"
