Why It Matters These voting outcomes confirm board continuity and investor support for management and governance decisions. Ratifying PwC preserves the company’s auditor continuity for 2026.

The affirmative say‑on‑pay vote indicates majority shareholder approval of the company’s executive compensation programs.
