Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Confirm the composition of the newly elected Board of Directors for the term ending in 2023.
- Verify the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the auditor for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
- Note the significant number of broker non-votes (8,123,928) recorded for the director elections, which did not affect the outcome but indicate shares held in street name where brokers lacked discretionary authority.
- Review the "Against" vote percentages for specific directors (e.g., Robert N. Duelks and Thomas J. Perna received higher dissent than others) to gauge shareholder sentiment on governance.
