- Review the 2025 Proxy Statement for details on the executive compensation package that was approved.
- Confirm the engagement of Crowe LLP as the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
- Note the significant number of broker non-votes (1,855,729) on the director and compensation proposals, which may indicate shares held in street name where brokers lacked discretionary voting power.
