Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)."
broker non-votes financial
"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.
named executive officers financial
"Stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers."
Named executive officers are the senior company leaders whose names, roles and compensation are singled out in required regulatory filings; this typically includes the chief executive, chief financial officer and the next highest‑paid senior officers. Investors treat this list like a team roster — it shows who makes key decisions, how they are paid and whether incentives align with shareholder interests, so changes or pay patterns can signal governance quality, risk or strategic shifts.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 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.
Finance and Audit Committee financial
"ratified the selection by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors"
