Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Proxy Statement filed on April 27, 2022, for detailed background on the nominees and executive compensation.
- Confirm the tenure of the newly elected directors (Andrew Arno and Samuel Gulko) extends through the 2025 annual meeting.
- Note the significant number of broker non-votes (14,217,191) on the director election and executive compensation proposals, which did not affect the outcome but indicate shares held in street name where brokers lacked discretionary voting power.
- Review the company's next quarterly or annual report for financial metrics, as this 8-K contains no financial data.
