Shareholders approved amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors over a three-year period, moving toward annual election of all directors by 2029. Shareholders owning at least 25% of capital stock continuously for at least one year were granted the right to request the Corporation call a special meeting. The Board of Directors and shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. The Annual Meeting held on May 12, 2026, saw the re-election of three Class II directors: Daniel M. Junius, Lawrence D. Kingsley, and Sophie V. Vandebroek, PhD. Amended and Restated By-Laws were adopted to align with the new Certificate of Incorporation provisions and include technical, ministerial, and administrative updates.
