What Happened

As of the April 27, 2026 record date there were 159,228,945 shares outstanding; about 133,406,607 shares (≈84%) were present in person, virtually, or by proxy. Key outcomes: an amendment to declassify the board was not approved, the advisory “say-on-pay” was approved, the selection of Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP as auditor was ratified, and three Class II directors were elected.

Why It Matters
These votes affect WM Technology’s corporate governance: the failed declassification vote means the board will remain classified rather than move to immediate annual elections of all directors. The approved advisory vote on executive pay signals shareholder support for disclosed 2025 executive compensation (note: advisory only, non-binding). Ratification of the auditor confirms the company’s independent accounting firm for FY2026, and the elected Class II directors will serve through the 2029 annual meeting, shaping board composition and oversight.
