Insights

TL;DR: Board continuity confirmed with three director elections; shareholder votes include recorded authority and non-vote tallies.

The Annual Meeting results show the reconstitution/confirmation of the board through election of Kathryn J. Boor, John P. Gaylord, and Paul L. Palmby to terms through 2028. The filing provides explicit vote totals and separate columns for authority and non-votes, and notes that 6% cumulative preferred shares vote only on director elections. These outcomes are governance matters that maintain board composition and voting records; they do not by themselves change corporate strategy or financial statements.

TL;DR: Auditor ratification completed; vote totals recorded for governance transparency but no direct financial impact disclosed.

Shareholders ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with vote counts of 2,380,835 for, 1,120 against, and 35 abstentions. The filing lists outstanding share counts by class and vote weightings, which clarify voting power but include no operational or earnings data. These are routine, material governance disclosures that document shareholder approval and auditor appointment without financial metrics or transactions disclosed.
