Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total number of shares outstanding to calculate the percentage of votes cast for each trustee.
- Note that William S. Susman received a higher number of "Withheld" votes (845,489) than "For" votes (644,223), though he was still elected as the threshold for election is typically a plurality or majority of votes cast, not total shares outstanding.
- Confirm the tenure of the newly elected trustees, which is specified as a one-year term.
- Review the August 18, 2023 proxy statement for the full context of the auditor ratification and trustee biographies.
