Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the official appointment of Forvis Mazars, LLP as the independent auditor for the 2026 fiscal year.
- Confirm the three-year terms for the newly elected directors: Tammy F. Coley, W. Morris Fine, and Richard M. Hutson II.
- Note the significant number of broker non-votes (214,354) recorded for the director elections, which may indicate shares held in street name where brokers lacked discretionary voting authority.
- Review the company's next periodic report (10-Q or 10-K) for actual financial performance data, as this 8-K contains none.
