27 Apr, 2026Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Special Meeting adjourned to May 21, 2026, to allow more time for voting on Proposal 1, which seeks to amend the charter to replace the 90% supermajority vote standard with a majority of outstanding shares standard.
All other proposals requiring a majority of outstanding shares were approved and polls closed on those items.
Proposal 1 received 85.97% support from outstanding shares and 97.69% of shares voted, but did not reach the 90% threshold.
Proxy advisors Glass Lewis and ISS recommended voting in favor of Proposal 1.

Proposal 1 aims to eliminate the supermajority vote requirement, shifting to a simple majority standard for key decisions.
The change is positioned as being in the best interests of all shareholders.
Board of directors and corporate governance
Direct outreach to shareholders was conducted to encourage support for governance changes.
