of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the 2026 fiscal year and (iii) approve the compensation of
the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 2, 2026 for the Annual Meeting (the “2026 Proxy”) (a non-binding advisory vote). The Shareholders also voted on a
shareholder proposal requesting an independent Board Chairman (the “Shareholder Proposal”).
At the Annual Meeting, all
