Why It Matters
These results confirm the current Board’s composition for 2026 and maintain continuity in governance and external audit oversight with Deloitte’s ratification. The advisory approval of executive compensation signals majority shareholder support for the company’s pay policies, and the preference for a three-year say-on-pay cycle (non-binding) indicates shareholder sentiment on how often compensation should be revisited. Broker non-votes (shares held by brokers that were not voted) affected totals and are notable when assessing the level of active shareholder participation.
