Why It Matters

• Board composition: The election of Christopher C. Smith fills the Class II director seat and affects the company’s governance through at least 2029.
• Audit continuity: Ratifying Deloitte keeps the current independent auditor in place for the 2026 fiscal year, which is relevant to financial reporting and audit oversight.
• Vote context: Strong "For" votes on both items indicate shareholder support; the presence of withheld votes and broker non-votes is noted but did not prevent approval.
