Key Details

• Quorum: 98,266,491 shares entitled to vote; 89,239,188 shares present (in person or by proxy).

Why It Matters This 8-K confirms governance outcomes investors watch: board composition, shareholder sentiment on executive pay, and continuity of the external auditor. The advisory approval on compensation was passed comfortably but with nearly 9.3 million votes against, a level of dissent some investors may note. Ratification of KPMG maintains the company’s auditor for fiscal 2026, which is relevant for upcoming financial reporting and audit continuity.
