Why It Matters
These results confirm board continuity and management oversight for the coming year and give shareholders a non‑binding endorsement of the company’s executive pay program. Ratification of PwC as auditor ensures continuity of external financial review for STAG’s 2026 year end. The presence of meaningful broker non‑votes on director and say‑on‑pay votes indicates some shares were voted by brokers under pre‑existing instructions, which can affect the franchise of shareholder votes but does not change the outcome reported.
