Shareholders voted on three items of business during the meeting.

Latessa reported that each of the six nominees was elected.

Executive Compensation and Auditor Ratification Approved

The second proposal was an advisory vote on the company’s 2025 executive compensation, commonly referred to as a “say on pay” vote. Latessa said the proposal received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, and was approved.

The third proposal was an advisory vote to ratify the audit committee’s appointment of RSM as Alpha’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026. Latessa said that proposal also received majority support from shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, and was approved.
