Key Details

• Meeting turnout: 58,010,900 shares present in person or by proxy (80.04% of outstanding common stock as of April 17, 2026).
• Directors elected (votes For / Against / Abstain / Broker non‑votes):
  • Thomas J. Cable: 20,787,774 / 10,531,585 / 429,499 / 26,262,042
  • Peter A. Demopulos, M.D.: 25,314,641 / 6,063,216 / 371,001 / 26,262,042
  • Diana T. Perkinson, M.D.: 22,939,756 / 8,295,563 / 513,539 / 26,262,042
• Advisory “say‑on‑pay” vote (named executive officer compensation): For 24,384,445 / Against 6,856,592 / Abstain 507,821 / Broker non‑votes 26,262,042 (approved).
• Other proposals: Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan approved (For 19,116,509 / Against 12,184,390 / Abstain 447,959 / Broker non‑votes 26,262,042); Ernst & Young LLP ratified as independent auditor for fiscal 2026 (For 53,083,043 / Against 4,423,648 / Abstain 504,209).

Why It Matters
These results confirm board continuity with three Class II directors re‑elected and show shareholder approval of executive compensation (advisory) and the company’s amended equity incentive plan, which can affect future stock‑based awards and dilution. Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP establishes the company’s auditor for the 2026 fiscal year. Investors should note the vote totals and turnout as indicators of shareholder support for governance and compensation actions disclosed in the company’s proxy.
