The supplement increases the importance of retail and institutional voting instructions for Proposals 1 and 3. Monitor meeting results for any surprise failure of these routine proposals due to insufficient votes.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
TMC the metals Co Inc. filed a DEFA14A supplement clarifying that brokers will NOT have discretionary authority to vote unvoted street-name shares on Proposal No. 1 (fixing board size at ten) or Proposal No. 3 (ratifying Ernst & Young as auditor) at the May 28, 2026 annual meeting. This reverses the prior proxy statement's expectation that broker non-votes would not occur on these proposals, meaning shareholder turnout and instruction are now more critical for passage.
