Corporate Governance and Stockholder Votes
- Stockholders approved an amendment to declassify the Board of Directors. Directors will generally stand for election annually for one-year terms.
- The amendment also permits directors to be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting power entitled to elect directors.
- The Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 23, 2023, and an associated amendment to the bylaws became effective the same day.
- Christine Lindenboom and Terrance McGuire were elected as directors. Although presented as three-year terms ending at the 2026 annual meeting, their terms will expire at the 2024 annual meeting because the Board was declassified.
- Stockholders ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
