Summary

All nine director nominees were re-elected to one-year terms with support ranging from 91.7% to 94.7%, typical approval levels for an uncontested board slate. The say-on-pay vote passed with 98% support, reflecting shareholder satisfaction with executive compensation practices.

The company maintains a dual-class share structure: 37.6 million Class A shares carry one vote each, while 13.3 million Class B shares carry ten votes each (132.6 million total votes). This concentration of voting power is a governance feature retail holders should understand, though the meeting results themselves were routine. No contested proposals or governance concerns emerged from this filing.
