Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Election of two Class II directors establishes the Board composition through 2029 and may influence governance and strategic oversight.
• Executive pay approval: The non‑binding advisory vote shows a majority of shares voted supported the company's named executive officer compensation, an important governance signal to management and investors.
• Auditor ratification: Re‑appointing Ernst & Young maintains continuity in ACV Auctions’ external audit and financial reporting process for 2026.
• Broker non‑votes on director and compensation items indicate a portion of shares (25,584,102) were not voted on those matters by brokers, which can affect the total voting outcome for non‑routine proposals.
