Canton Strategic Holdings held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders virtually at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Mark Wendland presiding over the proceedings.
Wendland said the meeting had been called by the company’s board of directors and that June 16, 2026, was set as the record date for stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting. He also noted that company officers in attendance included Jacob Asbury, chief financial officer; Angela Radkowski, chief operating officer; and Mark Toomey, president. Francis H. Burd of Carideo Group Incorporated attended as Inspector of Election.
Stockholders Elect Seven Directors
The first proposal before stockholders was the election of seven directors to serve until the company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
The nominees put forward by the company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee were:
- Mark Wendland
- Clay Kahler
- Jill E. Sommers
- William Wiley
- Sean Galvin
- Pamela Carter
- Rishi Nangalia
Wendland said no stockholder had provided advance notice of an intent to nominate additional candidates, as required under the company’s bylaws. As a result, the board’s nominees were the only candidates standing for election. The board unanimously recommended voting in favor of each nominee.
After the polls closed, Wendland said the Inspector of Election had completed a preliminary vote count and reported that each director nominee received a plurality of votes cast. Based on those preliminary results, each nominee was declared duly elected.
Auditor Appointment Ratified
The second proposal was the ratification of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, referred to during the meeting as RRBB, as Canton Strategic Holdings’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026.
Wendland said the appointment was discussed in the company’s proxy statement and that the board unanimously recommended stockholders vote in favor of ratification.
Following the vote, Wendland said the Inspector of Election reported that the appointment of RRBB received a majority of the votes cast. Based on the preliminary results, the appointment was declared ratified.
Meeting Procedures and Adjournment
Asbury said stockholders were permitted to submit general questions through the meeting website, with each stockholder allowed one brief question. He said the company would post answers to appropriate questions after the annual meeting, as described in the meeting’s rules of conduct.
After the preliminary voting results were announced, Wendland said the formal business of the annual meeting had concluded and declared the meeting adjourned. He thanked stockholders for attending and for their interest in the affairs of Canton Strategic Holdings.
