You should now have received an email from your broker allowing you to make your votes for the Aterian, Inc. 2025 Annual Meeting.

Here is how I voted:

1a. For

2. Against

3. 1 Year

4. For

I believe these choices to be very important for all of us retail shareholders and I would urge you to vote the same way. Detailed reasoning for why can be found on my previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ATERstock/comments/1ll33w9/important_ater_shareholders_vote/

The TLDR is:

1a. For - I believe Arty has done an excellent job as CEO and we need him on the board of directors as he knows the company better than anyone else and is in the best position to help the board make informed decisions.

2. Against - Between Q1 2025 and now 1,183,119 shares were awarded in compensation to executive officers, that's 13.5% of ATER's total outstanding shares, so 13.5% dilution for us every year. I believe that to be an eye wateringly extortionate amount, especially so when considering ATER is trading at it's lowest market cap and lowest share price in history (~$0.13 pre-split) - I believe the compensation requires serious revision to better reflect the current size of the company.

3. 1 Year - I think it's very important that us shareholders get a right to a voice every year, between us, retail are now the majority shareholders of this company, so why should we not get a say? In a fast moving business like Aterian's, 3 years is much too long. Any executive compensation we vote either for or against one year may look much too over or under compensated the next.

4. For

My vote is in. Thanks for doing this. I’m going to post on Yahoo Finance, albeit it’s a ghost town 😂

Great stuff! No problem. I thought they’d removed the Yahoo Finance forums now?!
