Key Details

• Meeting date: May 1, 2026; record date: March 2, 2026; 95.75% of shares represented.
• All nine director nominees elected to one‑year terms; notable vote counts shown above and broker non‑votes = 4,266,974.
• Auditor ratified: Ernst & Young LLP (For: 130,999,058; Against: 22,246; Abstain: 33,248).
• Advisory vote on executive compensation approved (For: 109,648,436; Against: 17,085,608).

Why It Matters

• The results confirm board continuity (nine directors re‑elected) and keep the current auditor in place, both of which affect corporate governance and financial reporting continuity.
• The executive compensation advisory passed but drew a sizable opposing vote (over 17 million shares), a signal worth monitoring for investor sentiment and future governance engagement.
