Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Re-election of all five nominees maintains the current board lineup and governance continuity.
• Equity plan capacity: Approval to add 400,000 shares to the Stock Awards Plan gives the company additional shares it can grant under equity-based compensation, which may enable hiring and retention but can also increase potential dilution for existing shareholders.
• Shareholder support for pay and audit choices: The advisory say-on-pay passed and shareholders ratified the external auditor, indicating investor support for executive compensation and for the company’s choice of independent accountant for FY 2027.
