Key Details

• Advisory pay vote: Say-on-pay approved (non-binding) — Votes: 8,783,248 for; 1,556,869 against; 1,468,543 abstained (5,282,397 broker non-votes).

Why It Matters
These results confirm Byrna’s board composition through the 2027 annual meeting, provide shareholder approval of the company’s auditor for the coming fiscal year, and register shareholder support (albeit advisory) for executive compensation. The large number of broker non-votes on director and compensation items indicates many shares held in street name did not have instructions and therefore did not affect director or pay tallies, which can be relevant when assessing the strength of shareholder mandates.
