"she will receive the severance and other benefits payable upon a termination without cause or for good reason"

proxy statement on Schedule 14A regulatory
"the terms of which were disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 28, 2026"
A proxy statement on Schedule 14A is the official, regulator-filed packet of information companies send to shareholders before a vote, like a mailed agenda and background materials for a town-hall meeting. It explains who is running for the board, items up for approval, key executive pay and risks, and how to vote — details investors use to judge leadership, governance and potential changes that can affect share value.
Chief Compliance Officer financial
"Effective July 1, 2026, Chip Keller, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary, will become the Company’s Chief Legal Officer"
The chief compliance officer is the senior executive responsible for making sure a company follows laws, industry rules and its own internal policies, acting like a safety inspector for legal and ethical risks. Investors care because effective compliance reduces the chance of fines, lawsuits, operational disruption and reputational damage, so the officer’s competence and independence can materially affect future profits and risk exposure.
