FAQ

Why Neutral?

The meeting results contained mixed proposals, reflecting overall company stability. Rejection of a reverse stock split may prevent immediate dilution concerns, but elections confirm leadership.

How important is it?

Approval of key proposals might stabilize investor confidence temporarily. The corporate governance aspect impacts long-term growth potential and operational efficiency.

Why Short Term?

Immediate stockholder decisions could influence short-term trading sentiment. However, long-term fundamentals depend on vaccine approvals and market performance.
