Why It Matters
These results confirm shareholder support for the company’s current board slate and executive compensation approach, and secure KPMG as the external auditor for the upcoming fiscal year. The say-on-pay vote is advisory (non-binding) but is an important indicator of investor sentiment on executive pay. Broker non-votes on certain matters indicate shares held by brokers without voting instructions, which can affect vote totals for non-routine items.
