Why It Matters These results confirm board continuity with the three Class I directors re-elected through 2029 and show shareholder approval of KPMG as the company’s auditor for 2026. The sizeable number of broker non-votes (10,036,628) on the director elections reduced the total vote count for those proposals, while the auditor ratification received overwhelming support from shares voting. Investors tracking governance or audit oversight at PepGen should note the composition of the board going forward and the formal company‑auditor relationship for fiscal 2026.
