  • Director vote totals (For / Withheld / Broker Non-Votes):
    • Jeffrey M. Thompson: 21,607,419 / 15,652,033 / 34,173,685
    • Joseph Freedman: 17,225,491 / 20,033,961 / 34,173,685
    • Nicholas Liuzza Jr.: 14,348,726 / 22,910,726 / 34,173,685

  • Auditor ratification (Proposal 2): KPMG LLP was ratified — For: 70,445,245; Against: 613,920; Abstentions: 373,972.
  • Say-on-pay (Proposal 3): the non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation did not receive a majority of votes cast — For: 15,194,017; Against: 21,304,013; Abstentions: 761,422; Broker non-votes: 34,173,685. The Compensation Committee said it may retain an independent advisor and will consider the vote in future decisions.

Why It Matters

  • Board and governance: Investors should note the detailed vote splits on director nominees and the large number of broker non-votes, which affect the counts used to decide contested governance matters. Review of any contested or close director votes can be important for future board composition and oversight.
  • Executive pay signal: The failure of the advisory "say-on-pay" vote signals substantial shareholder dissatisfaction with executive compensation levels or structure; the company’s Compensation Committee said it will consider the result and may engage an independent advisor.
  • Auditor continuity: Ratification of KPMG maintains continuity in external audit coverage for fiscal 2026, reducing near-term audit-related uncertainty.
