Why It Matters

• These are routine corporate governance outcomes that confirm the board composition and the auditor for fiscal 2026. The auditor ratification is a formal shareholder approval of Grant Thornton’s appointment for the year ending December 31, 2026.
• The advisory "say‑on‑pay" vote passed, indicating shareholder support for the named executive officers’ compensation, though the advisory vote is non‑binding and the board retains final authority. The presence of significant broker non‑votes (778,865 shares) reflects shares held by brokers that were not voted on certain proposals.
