• The approved say-on-pay and the Board’s decision to hold annual advisory votes maintain regular shareholder input on executive compensation (the advisory vote is non-binding but the Board adopted the annual frequency).
• Ratification of Grant Thornton provides continuity for the company’s independent audit and financial reporting for 2026.
• High voter turnout (92.56%) indicates active shareholder engagement on governance matters.
