Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Re-election of all nine nominees preserves existing board composition and governance continuity through 2027.
• Audit and oversight: Ratification of PwC maintains the company’s independent auditor relationship for 2026, an important part of financial reporting and investor assurance.
• Shareholder sentiment on pay: The non-binding advisory vote approving executive compensation indicates shareholder support for the company's pay practices as disclosed, though it remains advisory.
• Voting context: Significant broker non-votes (2,405,980) appeared on director and advisory matters, which reflects shares held by brokers that did not vote on those proposals and can affect the vote totals reported.
