Annual Meeting of Stockholders regulatory
"The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Rocket Companies, Inc."
independent registered public accounting firm regulatory
"Ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young 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.
Team Member Stock Purchase Plan financial
"Approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Rocket Companies, Inc. 2020 Team Member Stock Purchase Plan"
broker non-votes regulatory
"Broker Non-Votes 2,034,263,006 | 279,621,522 | 111,516,938"
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.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders."
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
