Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Election of the six directors confirms the company’s leadership team for the coming year and preserves current governance direction through the 2027 annual meeting.
• Auditor confirmation: Ratification of Baker Tilly as the independent auditor sets the firm responsible for auditing Rumble’s 2026 financial statements, an important factor for financial reporting and investor confidence.
• Voting context: Significant broker non-votes were recorded for five nominees, and Mr. Naumoff’s election reflects shareholder-class voting provisions (Class A). These vote tallies are material governance facts investors can use to assess shareholder support and corporate structure.
