The second item of business is a proposal to pass and approve the following ordinary resolution. To resolve as an ordinary resolution that this extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the company be adjourned to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the other proposal at this extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the company.
And Carlos.
I will.
Sorry, sorry, Carlos, just to jump in there. That resolution will not be put to the meeting given that we will not be adjourning it, so we can disregard that resolution.
Perfect. You're fully read. I hereby declare the polls closed. I will now tabulate the votes and report the preliminary results before the close of the meeting.

Thank you. For resolution one, to approve and adopt the merger and justification protocol and the plan of merger, the proposal has received a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast from the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. That's the only resolution. Mr. Chairperson, the final results of the shareholder votes reflecting all proxies received by mail through the close of this meeting and any votes cast in person during this meeting with respect to the proposals will be included in the minutes of this meeting, and the final results of this meeting will be released to the market through a current report on Form 6-K. Mr. Chairperson?
I think we might be having some technical difficulties with Edson. Carlos, do you want to just declare the meeting closed if there's some technical issue here, yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, thank you. So this meeting is now concluded. I want to thank you all for attending today's meeting and for the support you have shown for Vitru Limited. Thank you and good morning.
