broker non-votes financial
"There were 176,638,697 broker non-votes for each director on this proposal."
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
"Proposal 2: Advisory Vote to Approve the Corporation’s Executive-Compensation Program"
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.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Shareholders ratified the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for 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.
Incentive Plan financial
"Shareholders approved the A&R Plan."
amendment and restatement financial
"approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the Truist Financial Corporation 2022 Incentive Plan"
