Why It Matters

• The reported tallies show shareholder sentiment on board composition and pay: while several nominees received strong "For" support (e.g., DasGupta, Boiter, Parks), some nominees had higher "Against" votes than "For" (e.g., George C. Freeman III and Carl E. Tack III), which may be relevant to future governance discussions.
• The advisory vote on executive compensation received more "For" than "Against," indicating majority support for the company's pay practices from votes cast.
• Shareholders overwhelmingly ratified KPMG as Tredegar’s independent auditor for 2026, providing continuity for the company’s external financial review.
• Broker non‑votes (3,354,799) were material to the meeting tallies and can affect the outcome of director elections and advisory proposals because they are votes not cast by brokers on behalf of clients who did not provide voting instructions.
