The holders present voted on the five proposals presented at the Annual Meeting as follows:

 

Proposal One - Election of Directors

 

The Company’s stockholders approved the election of three directors, each to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, by the following votes:

Proposal Three - Advisory Vote on Our Named Executive Officers' Compensation

 

On a non-binding advisory basis, the Company’s stockholders approved the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, based on the following voting results:

Proposal Four - Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Non-Binding Votes on Our Named Executive Officers’ Compensation

 

On a non-binding advisory basis, the Company’s stockholders approved a frequency of one year of future non-binding votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, based on the following voting results:

 

1 Year  2 Years   3 Years   Abstentions

Based on these results and consistent with the Company’s recommendation, the Board has determined that the Company will conduct future advisory votes regarding the compensation of its named executive officers once every year. This policy will remain in effect until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of advisory votes on the compensation of named executive officers, which is expected to be held at the Company’s 2032 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
