Why It Matters

• Board composition: Re-election of the full slate of directors preserves the company’s current board and governance continuity, which can affect strategic decisions and oversight.
• Audit continuity: Ratifying Grant Thornton as auditor confirms continuity in external financial oversight for fiscal 2026.
• Executive pay signal: The advisory approval of executive compensation passed, but the sizable number of broker non-votes (40.25M) and the level of opposition on some director and pay votes provide measurable investor feedback that the company may consider in future governance or compensation decisions.
