Also with us today are members of our board of directors. Additionally, we're pleased to have Bruce Roth and Scott Weiner from the accounting firm CBIZ CPAs, P.C., as well as Claire Andrus from the law firm Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP joining us.

Thank you, Anthony. The business portion of today's meeting will consist of two parts, the formalities necessary to validate this meeting, and second, the formal business of the meeting. The corporate record reflects that approximately 13.7 million or 66.3% of the shares entitled to vote are represented today, either virtually or by proxy. I have obtained a certified list of common stockholders of the company as of April 9th, 2026, the record date, for determining stockholders eligible to vote at this meeting. This list has been prepared by Equiniti, the company's transfer agent. This meeting is being conducted in accordance with the printed notice dated April 9th of 2026, which was delivered to stockholders of record entitled to vote. All documents concerning this meeting, including the notice of meeting, will be filed with the official records.
As outlined in the notice and proxy statement, stockholders of record as of April 9th, 2026, are entitled to participate, submit questions, and vote during the live webcast. You may cast your vote by clicking the vote button on your screen. Eligible stockholders may submit questions during the Q&A session using the question box icon. The company has not received notice from any stockholders pursuant to its bylaws of additional matters to be considered today. As such, no other proposals may be introduced. Following the business portion of this meeting, we will hold a question and answer session. The first item of business on today's agenda is the election of seven nominees to serve on the board of directors for a one-year term expiring at the 2027 annual stockholders meeting, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
As outlined in the company's definitive proxy dated April 23rd, 2026, the following individuals have been nominated: Gordon DuGan, Alan Carr, Anthony Coniglio, Joyce Johnson, Peter Martay, Dina Rollman, and David Weinstein. Each of these nominees is a current member of the board of directors. No additional director nominees have been proposed. I now declare the nominations closed. The next item on the agenda is a proposal to ratify the appointment of CBIZ CPAs, P.C. as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The Audit Committee and the company have approved this appointment subject to stockholder approval. Bruce Roth and Scott Weiner representing CBIZ are present today and available to address any appropriate questions. The matters outlined in the notice of annual meeting are now properly before this meeting and voting is open.
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. If you have already voted online or submitted a proxy, there is no need to vote again. We will allow some additional time for final voting submission. There being no further business before this meeting, I declare the polls closed at 11:04 AM. The Inspector of Elections will tabulate the votes. Based on the preliminary tabulation submitted by the inspector, each nominee has been reelected to the board of directors to serve until the 2027 annual meeting, until a successor is duly elected and qualified. The votes cast in favor of ratification of CBIZ for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026 have exceeded those cast in opposition, and CBIZ CPAs have been ratified. The final voting results will be disclosed in a Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC within four business days following this meeting.
I will now turn the call back over to Anthony Coniglio.
Thank you, Lisa. Following the conclusion of the business portion of this meeting, we will continue with the question and answer session. I am aware of no other business and hereby adjourn this meeting. We will now take any questions submitted. There are no questions, and we thank everybody for joining us today. Have a wonderful summer. This concludes the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Ladies and gentlemen, you may now disconnect.
