• Auditor ratification: Wolf & Company, P.C. — 21,962,817 For; 12,606 Against; 127,915 Abstain.
• Say‑on‑pay and frequency: NEO compensation (2025) approved — 14,940,604 For; 47,130 Against; 136,287 Abstain. Shareholders recommended holding say‑on‑pay votes every three years: One‑Year 4,275,925; Two‑Years 30,503; Three‑Years 10,631,078.

Why It Matters These voting results confirm board composition and continuity of management and governance for the coming year, and they maintain external audit oversight with Wolf & Company, P.C. The advisory approval of 2025 NEO compensation is a non‑binding endorsement of current pay practices, while the vote for triennial say‑on‑pay means shareholders recommended less frequent advisory votes on executive pay (every three years). Investors should note these are governance outcomes (not financial results) that affect oversight and shareholder engagement going forward.
