This DEFA14A provides definitive additional proxy materials for the upcoming annual meeting, where shareholders will vote on key corporate governance matters. Most notably, the agenda includes the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the new independent auditor. This vote is particularly significant given the company's recent dismissal of its previous auditor, Grant Thornton, and the disclosure of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its 2025 10-K.
