Why It Matters

• Investors get clarity on board composition and auditor continuity: two Class II trustees were re/elected (or elected) to standard three-year terms, and Deloitte will remain the company’s auditor for the coming year. The reported vote counts and presence of broker non-votes provide transparency on shareholder support levels for governance matters.
