"Broker Non-Votes 2,924,241 | 97.78% | | 21,206 | 0.71% | | 45,306 | 1.51% | | 0"

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 (Non-Binding) Approval of Company’s Executive Compensation regulatory

"Proposal 3–Advisory (Non-Binding) Approval of Company’s Executive Compensation"

emerging growth company regulatory

"Emerging growth company o o Item 5.07. Submission of Matters"

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
