Hello, and welcome to the annual meeting of stockholders of Imricor Medical Systems, Inc.. Please note that today's meeting is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to turn today's meeting over to Steve Wedan. Steve, the floor is yours.
Thank you. I'd like to welcome everyone to the 2026 annual meeting of Imricor Medical Systems. My name again is Steve Wedan, Imricor's Chair and CEO. During the course of today's meeting, our stockholders and their proxies will have the opportunity to ask questions and register votes if they haven't already done so. CDI holders will also have the opportunity to ask questions but are not entitled to vote at the meeting except as a proxy for CHESS Depositary Nominees.
You can submit your questions at any time during the meeting as outlined in our meeting guide. I will address these questions throughout the meeting. Voting today will be conducted by way of poll on all items of business. Shortly, I'll open the voting for all resolutions. Once voting is open, if you're eligible to vote at this meeting, a polling icon will appear on your screen.
Selecting this icon will open a list of resolutions and present you with voting options. To cast your vote, simply click on the appropriate option. Once you select an option, the vote is automatically recorded. You have the ability to change your vote at any time until the time I declare voting closed, and I'll provide the meeting with a warning before I close the voting. Please also note that there are a number of voting exclusions that apply to today's resolutions being put to the meeting, and these have been outlined in the notice of meeting. I now declare the voting open on all items of business.
I'd like to take a moment to introduce four of my fellow directors who are joining us today, Mark Tibbles, Anita Messal, Peter McGregor, and Aldo Denti, as well as our CFO, Jonathon Gut, and Jeff Ostapik from our audit firm, BDO. Online, we also have our company secretary, Kobe Li. I have been advised that a quorum is present. Therefore, I declare this meeting open and authorized to transact business. On behalf of the board, I want to start by thanking you, our shareholders, for your continued support of Imricor. Your belief in our vision has been instrumental in getting us to this point, and we deeply value the trust and confidence you've placed in us. 2025 was a defining year for Imricor. It was a year in which we continued to move from promise to execution.
We made important progress across our clinical, regulatory, commercial, and operational priorities, all with one objective in mind: to establish interventional MR as a new standard of care. During the year, we advanced our U.S. regulatory pathway, continued to progress the VISABL-AFL clinical trial, expanded our clinical footprint, deepened engagement with leading hospitals and physicians who see the same future we do, a future where electrophysiology procedures are performed with real-time soft tissue visualization without ionizing radiation and with the power for greater precision and better outcomes. We also took a significant leap forward with the world's first ventricular tachycardia ablation performed in the MR environment. VT ablation is one of the most complex procedures in electrophysiology, and this milestone clearly demonstrated that our platform is ready for some of the most challenging ablations in cardiac care.
We also continue to build momentum in Europe, where our technology is already being used in leading centers. These sites are not only treating patients, they're helping demonstrate what is possible when cardiac procedures are performed in a cath lab that has replaced X-ray imaging with the advanced imaging of magnetic resonance. One of the most exciting developments of the year was the growing recognition that Imricor is not simply building a better catheter, we're building a platform.
Our devices, our capital equipment, and NorthStar Mapping System are designed now to work together as a complete integrated ecosystem for interventional MR. That platform approach is what gives us the opportunity to expand beyond a single procedure, beyond a single indication, and ultimately, beyond electrophysiology. The milestones achieved in 2025 were the result of many years of persistence, and Imricor has been working toward this moment for nearly two decades.
We've had to solve problems that others consider too difficult. We had to build new technology, clinical evidence, regulatory pathways, and physical and physician confidence, often all at the same time. That's hard work, but it also creates an enduring value. Importantly, we now enter a phase, the next phase, with a stronger balance sheet. Thanks to you, our shareholders, Imricor has the capital needed to execute from a position of strength. We intend to invest that capital wisely and with discipline. Our priorities are clear: strengthen our commercial capabilities, expand our installed base, advance our regulatory approvals, support our clinical trials, and bring interventional MR to hospitals and patients around the world. The opportunity in front of us is significant.
The electrophysiology market is very large and growing, and physicians are demanding better capabilities to improve patient care and increase efficiency, all while they're trying to remove themselves from X-ray radiation as part of their daily lives. Patients deserve this better treatment, and medical personnel deserve a safe and efficient work environment. Imricor is uniquely positioned to deliver on that future. For our employees, thank you for your dedication and belief.
For our physicians and hospital partners, thank you for your courage and leadership. To our board, thank you for your guidance. To our shareholders, thank you again for supporting us as we work to transform the way cardiac procedures are performed. I believe we are standing at the threshold of a new era in medicine. Imricor's interventional MR, or what we're calling IMR solution, offers a very different future.
A future with real-time visualization of anatomy and tissue characteristics. A future without ionizing radiation. A future where physicians can see more, know more, and do more for their patients. That is the future Imricor was created to bring to the world. Together, that is what we're doing. We are interventional MR. We are IMR. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll now turn to the formal business of the meeting. As mentioned previously, you may ask questions during online during the meeting via a speech bubble icon on your screen. If eligible to vote at this meeting, you may do so up until I close voting by clicking on the polling icon on your screen. If you've already sent in your proxy voting instructions or voted by internet or telephone before the meeting, your shares have already been voted accordingly.
Therefore, stockholders do not need to vote today unless they are voting for the first time or wanna change their previous vote. Voting is currently open for all items of business, and I'll provide you with a warning before I move to close voting. Prior to commencement of the meeting, valid votes have been received representing approximately 40.9% of Imricor's issued capital, or 131,335,382 shares of Class A common stock. As I stated in the proxy statement, I intend to vote all available undirect proxies in favor of all items.
Ladies and gentlemen, a copy of the meeting notice and proxy statement included, including the explanatory memorandum, have been distributed or made available to all stockholders and CDI holders. If you do not have a copy with you, please be reminded that you can download these documents from the ASX website. I propose that these documents be taken as read. As required by the bylaws, a copy of the full register of stockholders is available for viewing at Imricor's place of business in Burnsville and at Imricor's registered address in Melbourne.
You are encouraged, I should say, to make prior arrangements with either myself or in the U.S. or with Kobe Li, our Imricor's Company Secretary in Australia, should you like to view the register. Before we move to the agenda items, I'd like to address questions in relation to the presentation I made or any other business of the company. I'll defer questions on items of the business until we come up to that particular item. I'll provide you now with a moment to ask your questions online. Are there any questions at this time?
