"Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders."
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"ratified the appointment of Elliott Davis, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"
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.
broker non-votes regulatory
"Broker Non-Votes Thomas M. Jackson, Jr. | | 2,846,702 | | 34,665 | | 937,979"
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.
