Why It Matters

• Board control and oversight: Re-election of incumbents maintains current board composition and governance continuity; the vote tallies show where shareholder opposition was concentrated, which can signal areas of concern for the board.
• Executive pay oversight: The advisory approval of executive compensation (say-on-pay) and the shareholder preference for annual votes are non-binding but inform the board and compensation committee about investor sentiment.
• Auditor confirmation: Ratifying Forvis Mazars, LLP confirms the independent auditor for the Company’s 2026 fiscal year, ensuring continuity of financial oversight and reporting for investors.
