Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Electing the nine nominees keeps the current board in place through the next annual meeting, which matters for governance and oversight of strategy.
• Compensation and oversight confirmation: Approval of the advisory say‑on‑pay vote signals shareholder support for the company’s executive pay approach.
• Auditor ratification: Re‑appointing Grant Thornton LLP ensures continuity in external financial oversight for fiscal year 2026.
• Voting context: The presence of 4.75 million broker non‑votes on several items reduced the number of shares that directly counted on those matters, which can affect the raw vote totals reported.
