Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial
"held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)"
quorum financial
"which represented approximately 86.0% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and which constituted a quorum"
A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan financial
"2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”)"
A single, company-wide plan that lets a business grant different kinds of stock-based pay — such as stock options, shares that vest over time, or other equity awards — to employees, directors and consultants. It matters to investors because it determines how much of the company can be paid out in shares, how quickly those shares enter the market, and how well employees are motivated to grow the business; think of it as a toolbox or menu for paying with ownership stakes that can dilute existing holders and affect company performance.
Broker Non-Votes financial
"Votes For | | Withheld | | Broker Non-Votes Bharat Krish"
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"KNAV CPA LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
