Annual Meeting of Stockholders regulatory
"On June 16, 2026, Zeta Global Holdings Corp. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders"
Class II directors regulatory
"to serve as Class II directors of the Company’s Board of Directors until the 2029 Annual Meeting"
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
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.
broker non-votes regulatory
"Broker Non-Votes 51,728,526"
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) basis regulatory
"approved, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers"
