Additionally, a management proposal to ratify Ernst & Young LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025 was approved with an overwhelming majority of votes in favor.

Shareholders also passed an advisory resolution to approve the compensation of Amentum’s named executive officers for fiscal year 2024. The resolution received a favorable vote, indicating stockholder agreement with the executive compensation plan.
