- 1
Election of Directors
ManagementBoard: FORElect five nominees to the Board of Directors to serve the terms indicated (four for three-year terms and one for a one-year term).
- 2
Ratification of Independent Auditors
ManagementBoard: FORRatify the Audit & Risk Committee’s selection of Wolf & Company P.C. as the Company’s independent external auditors for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
More detail
The proposal asks shareholders to ratify the Audit & Risk Committee’s appointment of Wolf & Company P.C. as the independent auditors for the fiscal year 2026. Management is seeking shareholder approval as a conventional governance step, providing shareholders a say and potentially influencing future auditor selection if not ratified. The context: Wolf & Company P.C. was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025 and provided both audit and limited non-audit services; fees for 2025 totaled $356,680. The Board and Audit & Risk Committee recommend ratification, noting pre-approval procedures for audit and permissible non-audit services and the Committee’s oversight of auditor independence. A vote to ratify is non-binding on the Audit & Risk Committee but signals shareholder support; a vote against would prompt the Committee to consider other auditors and could indicate shareholder concern about audit quality, fees, or independence. The recommendation rationale emphasizes continuity, the Committee’s vetting and oversight processes, and that ratification is good governance practice.
