More detail
The Audit Committee has appointed PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026 and seeks shareholder ratification as a governance matter, despite not being legally required. The proposal asks shareholders to ratify the continuing engagement of PwC, who has served since 2017 and is described as well-qualified with no financial interest in the Company. Management frames the vote as a routine oversight check; ratification provides the Audit Committee with shareholder endorsement but will not prevent it from replacing PwC if it later deems appropriate. The Board recommends a vote FOR, citing PwC’s tenure and qualifications; a failure to ratify would prompt the Audit Committee to consider that outcome in selecting future auditors. The proposal is routine and non-controversial, primarily concerned with auditor independence, qualifications, and continuity of the audit relationship; the board’s recommendation underscores continuity and perceived competence as the rationale.
