Why It Matters These results confirm board continuity (three directors re-elected through 2028) and reaffirm the company’s auditor for fiscal 2025, both of which support governance and financial reporting stability. The advisory "say-on-pay" approval, while non-binding, provides a clear shareholder signal of support for the company’s executive compensation practices. Investors can view these outcomes as governance-related indicators when assessing management oversight and potential continuity in strategy.
