A non-binding stockholder proposal concerning political spending was not approved, receiving 21,082,315 votes for and 137,953,664 against. Stockholders also ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024, with 152,245,315 votes for and 14,801,559 against.
