Why It Matters

• Governance continuity: Election of the three Class I directors (terms through 2029) confirms the board slate approved by shareholders, affecting oversight and strategic direction.
• Auditor continuity: Ratification of Crowe LLP establishes the independent firm that will audit Bridger’s 2026 financial statements, a routine but important governance item for investors.
• Voting detail: The presence of significant broker non-votes in the director elections (21,106,276) is a factual part of the record showing a portion of shares held by brokers were not voted on those proposals.
