Material Changes and Voting Results
Stockholders approved five key proposals at the Annual Meeting:

- Auditor Ratification: Stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
- Executive Compensation: The advisory "say-on-pay" vote was approved, as was the proposal to hold such votes annually.
