Actionable Insight • Neutral

Routine annual meeting results with no earnings or operational data. The 400,000-share increase under the incentive plan and 190,000-share increase under the ESPP are standard compensation authorizations. Monitor the next quarterly filing for any impact from equity grants on share count.
