Key Details

• Total votes represented: 42,581,241 (abstentions and 4,171,187 broker non-votes were counted for quorum).
• Directors: All listed nominees were elected. Support ranged from about 89.2% FOR (Celia M. Joseph: 34,242,750 FOR, 4,135,503 AGAINST) to about 99.6% FOR (April Walker: 38,220,756 FOR, 156,183 AGAINST). Other notable tallies include Elizabeth H. Gemmill (35,335,378 FOR, 3,043,479 AGAINST).
• Advisory compensation vote ("say-on-pay"): 30,833,842 FOR, 7,506,813 AGAINST, 69,399 abstentions, and 4,171,187 broker non-votes — approximately 80.4% FOR based on votes cast (FOR vs. AGAINST).
• Auditor ratification: KPMG LLP was ratified as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 with 41,561,564 FOR and 981,659 AGAINST (about 97.7% FOR of votes cast).

Why It Matters

• Governance: The election results confirm the board's composition for the coming year; however, some directors faced meaningful opposition (multi-million votes AGAINST), which is a shareholder governance signal investors watch for potential concerns or areas for engagement.
• Compensation and oversight: The advisory approval of executive compensation passed with roughly 80% support among votes cast, indicating general but not unanimous investor backing. The strong ratification of KPMG (≈97.7% FOR) signals broad shareholder support for the company’s choice of auditor.
• Practical impact: These are routine but material corporate governance outcomes that affect oversight and investor confidence; they do not, by themselves, change company operations or financial results.
