This DEFA14A provides the definitive list of proposals for the company's annual meeting on June 3, 2026, following the preliminary proxy statement filed on April 10, 2026. Key proposals include amending the charter to exculpate certain officers from liability, which generally reduces accountability but is a common practice in Delaware to attract and retain talent.
