Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"On June 18, 2026, Sidus Space, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders"
2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan financial
"The amendment of the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares"
evergreen provision financial
"to adopt an evergreen provision such that, beginning on January 1, 2027"
An evergreen provision is a clause in a financing or contract that automatically renews or replenishes the arrangement unless one party actively cancels it, like a subscription that keeps renewing each term. For investors it matters because it creates predictable, ongoing access to funding or ongoing contractual obligations — helping liquidity and planning — but can also hide long-term commitments or dilution risks if not reviewed.
Broker Non Vote financial
"Broker Non Vote -------------------------------------------------------------- | 10,065,579 |"
When a broker holds shares for a client but does not have the client’s instructions to vote on a particular corporate matter, the broker often cannot cast a ballot; this is called a broker non-vote. It matters to investors because those uncast votes can change whether proposals pass, especially on important governance or merger issues, so active voting by investors can directly influence company decisions like a missing voice in a group vote.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2026"
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.
