Why It Matters
Re-election of the board maintains the company’s current governance team and priorities; the approved advisory "say-on-pay" indicates shareholder support for the company’s executive compensation approach. Ratification of CohnReznick LLP finalizes the auditor for the coming fiscal year, which affects the firm’s independent audit process. Broker non-votes on non-routine items (1,841,845 shares) show a portion of shares held by brokers did not vote on those matters, which can affect vote totals for certain proposals.
