Were there any changes to the Board of Directors as a result of the meeting?

No, all four Class III Directors who were up for re-election were successfully elected for another three-year term, indicating continuity in the company's board leadership.

What is the significance of ratifying the independent auditor?

Ratifying the independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, confirms that shareholders are comfortable with the firm's role in providing an independent audit of the company's financial statements for 2025. This is crucial for maintaining investor confidence in the accuracy and transparency of Targa Resources' financial reporting.

What does an 'advisory basis' vote on executive compensation mean?

An advisory vote on executive compensation, often referred to as 'Say-on-Pay', allows shareholders to express their opinion on the company's executive compensation policies. While the vote is non-binding (meaning the Board is not legally required to act on it), a strong 'for' vote indicates shareholder approval, while a significant 'against' vote can prompt the company to re-evaluate its compensation practices.

Are broker non-votes a concern for these proposals?

Broker non-votes represent shares held by brokers or nominees that have not been voted on behalf of the beneficial owners. For director elections, broker non-votes can be significant if shareholders do not provide voting instructions. However, in this case, the 'Votes For' for directors far exceeded the broker non-votes, indicating overwhelming support independent of these shares. For the other proposals, the high 'Votes For' also suggest that broker non-votes did not materially impact the outcome.
