Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Re-election of the seven directors maintains the current board composition and governance continuity through 2027.
• Audit continuity: Ratifying Deloitte ensures the company’s auditor for fiscal 2026 is established, which affects financial statement audits and investor confidence.
• Shareholder support on pay: The strong advisory "For" vote (685M vs 17M against) signals substantial stockholder approval of the company's executive compensation practices, though the vote is non-binding.
