| Nominee | Forecast | Background |
|---|---|---|
Not independent | — | Stephen Altemus has been CEO of Intuitive Machines since 2012 and served as Deputy Director of NASA's Johnson Space Center from December 2012 to June 2013. |
Not independent | — | Dr. Ghaffarian co-founded multiple companies including Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Axiom Space, and X Energy, and has served as Chairman of the Board since February 2023. |
| #1 | Election of Directors Filed by the board · Board recommends For Elect two Class III directors (Stephen Altemus and Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian) to serve three-year terms until the 2029 annual meeting. |
| #2 | Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Filed by the board · Board recommends For Ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending . Detail ›This management proposal asks stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Grant Thornton LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. Management seeks shareholder approval primarily as a matter of good corporate governance and to obtain shareholder input on the auditor choice, though stockholder ratification is not legally required. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the firm's retention and concluded that the services provided are compatible with auditor independence; details of the fees paid are disclosed. The proposal is routine and non-controversial: ratification is a standard practice that provides the Audit Committee with an added endorsement but does not bind the committee to retain the firm. The board recommends a vote FOR the proposal on the basis that the selection is consistent with the company's audit needs and oversight processes, and the Audit Committee retains discretion to change auditors if warranted. The vote required is a majority of votes cast, and broker discretionary voting is permitted on this matter. |

About the risk forecast
The risk forecast scores each director on the company’s slate against Boardroom Alpha’s YoY Director-Vote Forecast model — three XGBoost classifiers that estimate the probability the director’s vote support falls below 70%, 80%, and 90% at the upcoming annual meeting, augmented by a five-rule governance escalation layer (overboarding, audit-committee composition, prior dissent, and others).
Bands map to those probability thresholds:
- Crisis — high probability of vote support below 70%. Rare.
- Material — high probability of below 80%. The primary screening threshold.
- Elevated — significant elevated risk of dissent.
- Watch — even a mild withhold is detectable. Informational.
- Healthy — no signal of meaningful dissent.
Prior is the director’s most-recent vote-support percentage at this same board. Direction compares the forecast to that prior vote: ↑ expected better means more support than last year; ↓ expected worse means less.
Forecast applies only to non-contested annual proxies (DEF 14A). Contested situations are tracked separately on the contested-proxy pipeline. The model is retrained nightly; bands shown reflect the most recent run.
