Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Re‑election of Class II directors maintains the current board composition through 2029, which can affect company strategy and oversight.
• Executive pay oversight: Approval of NEO compensation and the preference for annual advisory votes signal shareholder sentiment on pay disclosure and governance, though the votes are non‑binding.
• Audit confirmation: Ratification of KPMG provides continuity in external audit oversight for fiscal 2026.
• Voting context: Significant broker non‑votes appear in several tallies (8.83 million shares), which can affect the reported totals and reflect shares held by brokers without voting instructions.
