Three Class I directors seated through 2029
The first proposal elected Richard W. Bloomingdale, David J. Hickton, and Daniel A. Onorato to Class I board seats. Each term runs to the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders, or until a successor is duly elected and qualified. Hickton drew the highest for-vote count of the three nominees, with 8,623,833 shares in favor and 2,406,651 against. Bloomingdale followed at 8,553,976 for and 2,476,370 against. Onorato received 8,487,093 in favor and 2,546,130 against, the widest opposition of the group; abstentions on his seat came in at 84,647. Broker non-votes held at 3,240,506 across all three director elections; abstentions on Bloomingdale and Hickton were 87,524 and 87,386 respectively.
Say-on-pay passes, opposition worth noting
Proposal 2, an advisory resolution on compensation of the named executive officers, passed with 8,217,712 shares for and 2,834,231 against. That against-vote exceeds the opposition recorded on any individual director seat. The resolution is advisory and carries no binding effect on the board. Broker non-votes totaled 3,240,506 again; abstentions came in at 65,927.
Auditor ratification: S.R. Snodgrass returns for fiscal 2026

Snodgrass P.C. as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, with 14,050,718 shares in favor, 120,453 against, and 187,205 abstentions. Broker non-votes on this proposal came in at zero, contrasting with the 3,240,506 logged on each of the two preceding items.
The definitive proxy statement covering all three proposals was dated June 8, 2026, with proxies solicited ahead of the July 23 session. No additional shareholder action items were disclosed in the 8-K filing.
