Elect ten directors nominated by the Board and ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026.
Elect ten individuals nominated by the Board to serve one-year terms until the 2027 Annual Meeting.
Ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
The proposal asks shareholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte as Caris’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. Management is seeking shareholder approval as a governance matter to obtain shareholder input and reaffirm the Audit Committee’s selection; although not legally required, ratification is a common practice. The Audit Committee and Board state that Deloitte’s retention is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders; they note that the committee may change auditors regardless of the vote if it deems appropriate. Context includes a change in auditors in 2024 when EY declined re-engagement and Deloitte was engaged for 2024; fees paid to Deloitte in 2025 were disclosed. The Board recommends a vote FOR and justifies it by the Audit Committee’s oversight and belief that Deloitte’s retention supports the Company’s financial reporting and governance. The proposal is routine and focuses on audit firm ratification rather than substantive governance or compensation changes.
