broker non-votes regulatory

"The number of shares that ... were broker non-votes, are set forth in the table"

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 resolution on executive compensation regulatory

"The Company’s shareholders approved an advisory resolution on executive compensation"

non-binding advisory basis regulatory

"shareholders indicated their preference, on a non-binding advisory basis, that the frequency"

A non-binding advisory basis is guidance or a recommendation offered for informational purposes that does not create legal obligations or guarantees; recipients can accept, modify, or ignore it without contractual consequences. Investors should treat it like a weather forecast for planning—useful for forming expectations and assessing risk, but not a firm promise—so they should verify assumptions, seek confirming information, and avoid relying on it as the sole basis for investment decisions.

quorum regulatory

"13,980,794 (83.93%) were present in person or by proxy, representing a quorum"

A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
