Why It Matters

• Increasing authorized common shares (20M → 40M) gives the company legal capacity to issue more shares in the future for financing, stock plans, or other corporate actions — a structural change shareholders approved.
• Approval of the ESPP and the uncertificated shares amendment modernizes equity administration and creates a vehicle for employee share purchases, which may affect future share issuance and dilution.
• Re‑election of incumbent directors and ratification of Crowe LLP maintain continuity in leadership and external audit oversight.
