Why It Matters

• Governance: The re‑election of all six nominees keeps the current board intact for another year, providing continuity in oversight and strategy.
• Compensation and equity plan: Shareholder approval of the advisory pay vote signals majority support for executive compensation as disclosed; the approved increase to the stock incentive plan authorizes additional shares for equity awards, which can be used for hiring and retention but may dilute existing shareholders over time.
• Auditor continuity: Ratification of BDO USA, P.C. ensures the company’s independent auditor for 2026 is confirmed.
