Why It Matters These outcomes confirm the board’s Class II director slate and maintain Ernst & Young as loanDepot’s auditor for 2026, which are governance items investors monitor for continuity and oversight. The advisory say‑on‑pay passed by a wide margin but is non‑binding; the company’s board will typically consider the result when evaluating executive compensation policies. The presence of significant broker non‑votes on several items indicates a material number of shares held by brokers did not cast votes on non‑routine matters, which can affect the total voting percentages reported.
