• Auditor confirmed: Ratification of Cherry Bekaert LLP designates the firm responsible for auditing BKTI’s FY2026 financial statements, a key factor in financial reporting and investor confidence.
• Shareholder sentiment on pay: The advisory "say-on-pay" passed but with a substantial number of votes against (853,725), which investors may watch as management considers compensation practices and shareholder engagement going forward.
