Why It Matters
The results confirm board continuity with three Class II directors re-elected and provide shareholder approval (advisory) of executive pay, which management will consider but is not legally binding. Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP maintains the company’s auditor for 2026, an important governance item for financial reporting. Broker non-votes (14.3M shares on several items) show a portion of shares that did not vote on certain matters, which can affect vote tallies where broker authority is limited.
