The 2026 Annual Meeting results reflect significant shareholder resistance to governance reforms that would reduce voting thresholds for corporate charter and bylaw changes—both supermajority elimination proposals failed decisively, with FOR votes falling well below the required 66 2/3% threshold and substantial broker non-votes (8.5M) indicating lack of discretionary authority to vote on those matters. The failure to declassify the Board preserves the current three-class structure, maintaining staggered director elections and potentially insulating management from short-term shareholder pressure. In contrast, the advisory vote on executive compensation passed with a 77% FOR rate among votes cast (excluding broker non-votes), suggesting alignment on pay practices despite broader governance concerns. The unanimous ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP—with no broker non-votes and strong majority support—confirms stability in financial reporting oversight. Collectively, these outcomes signal investor acceptance of current leadership and audit functions, but skepticism toward structural changes that could weaken board accountability or ease future amendments to foundational corporate documents.
