The matter

Holders are asked to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. This is the only routine item at the meeting, so brokers may vote uninstructed shares on it.

An abstention

A broker non-vote

Routine for brokers

Read from that filing/where the two differ, the filing governs/the board recommendation is context and changes no record
