What happened

The company failed to pass proposals to eliminate the rights of Class B-1 and B-2 shareholders to elect directors, and a third proposal for Class B-3 shareholders lacked quorum. This failed governance reform highlights significant internal divisions and potential board-level instability, creating an opening for GRC or strategic advisory services.
