Why It Matters

• Board continuity: the re-election of all directors maintains current board leadership and oversight through the next annual meeting.
• Corporate governance and incentives: approval of the advisory say-on-pay and the 2026 equity plan affirms shareholder support for management’s compensation approach and authorizes additional equity-based awards, which can affect future dilution and executive incentives.
• Audit continuity and investor confidence: ratifying KPMG as auditor ensures continuity of external financial oversight for the coming fiscal year.
• Shareholder engagement: high participation (~84%) and the presence of ~14 million broker non-votes are material context for vote outcomes and indicate significant investor involvement.
