Say-on-Pay financial
"approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal 2025 (“Say-on-Pay”)."
A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.
2018 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"approved an amendment to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) to increase the number of shares"
broker non-votes regulatory
"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.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the appointment of M&K CPAS, PLLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 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.
annual meeting of stockholders regulatory
"held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)."
