Why It Matters These results confirm Teradyne’s board composition and governance choices for the coming year. The advisory approval of executive compensation (a non‑binding "say‑on‑pay") indicates majority shareholder support for the company’s 2025 pay practices, while the auditor ratification ensures continuity of external financial oversight. Broker non‑votes (12.5M shares) appeared in the director and compensation tallies and reflect shares held by brokers where voting instructions were not provided; investors should note this when assessing vote margins.
