Good morning and welcome to the twenty twenty Annual Meeting of ABM Industries Incorporated. Please welcome Scott Salmiers, ABM's Chief Executive Officer.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Scott Salmirs, and I am ABM's President and Chief Executive Officer, and I serve on the Board of Directors. Welcome to the ABM Industries Incorporated twenty twenty Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This meeting is now called to order. Andrea Newborn, our General Counsel, will serve as secretary for this meeting.
As you all know, in light of public health concerns due to the coronavirus, we are broadcasting our meeting via live webcast. We at ABM want to extend our best wishes to all who are dealing with the coronavirus. We know that these are unsettling times. For our team members, you're simply incredible in the way you've risen up to face this challenge. For our clients, we appreciate all of the positive outreach on the work you're doing.
And please know we will continue to be your partner. And to our shareholders, know that your ABM team is rising to the occasion. We continue to define ourselves by being the clear choice in the industry. The agenda and rules of conduct appear on your screen on the virtual meeting page. We will conduct a meeting in accordance with these documents.
Now let's move to our agenda. The notice and proxy statements for this meeting were mailed on or about February 13 to all stockholders of record on January 29. A supplemental notice was mailed on or about March 12 announcing the change to a virtual meeting format. The purpose of this meeting is for stockholders to vote on four matters, which I'll summarize shortly. During this meeting, stockholders will have an opportunity to submit questions in writing where indicated on the webcast portal for this meeting.
We'll do our best to respond to appropriate questions received relating to the business of the meeting and the time permitted. We'll also publish and answer each appropriate question received following the meeting. No one attending the webcast is permitted to use any audio recording device. There are three nominees for election to the Board of Directors of ABM at this meeting for a three year term expiring at the twenty twenty three annual meeting, Don Colleren, Tom Gartland, and Wendy Webb, each of whom is present for this meeting. The other members of our board are also present for this meeting Sudhakar Kesavan, the Chairman of the Board Leanne Baker Linda Chavez, Art Garcia, Jill Golder, and Filippo Pasarini.
The executive officers of ABM are in attendance for this meeting, as is Melissa Taylor with KPMG, ABM's independent auditors. She has informed me that she does not wish to make a statement, but she is available to respond to any appropriate questions. I'd also like to introduce Chris Woods of American Election Services who's been appointed to act as the Inspector of Election. He will count the votes and determine the results of the voting. Each of you received a notice and proxy statement for this meeting.
A copy of the notice and an affidavit from Broadridge Financial Solutions that the notice and proxy statement have been duly mailed to all stockholders will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. Andrea, as secretary, has advised me that stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of ABM common stock entitled to vote are present or represented by proxy at this meeting, which constitutes a quorum. Since notice was duly given and a quorum is present, we will now proceed with this annual meeting of stockholders. And now the agenda items for this meeting. I would remind all stockholders, if you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you should not submit a vote online at this time.
Submission of a new vote revokes your prior proxy. The first item before the meeting is the election of directors. As previously mentioned, the following persons have been nominated by the board: Don Collerin, Tom Gartlin, and Wendy Webb. The second item before the meeting is approval of amendment to the company's Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify the Board. The third item before the meeting is a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation.
And the fourth item before the meeting is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as ABM's independent orders for 2020. We will now review any questions received regarding the four proposals.
Thank you, Scott. We've not received any questions pertaining to the proposals.
Thank you, Andrea. It's now 10:05 a. M. And I declare that the polls are now closed for voting. I will now report on the results of the voting at this meeting.
Based on the tally in the preliminary report of the Inspector of Elections, stockholders have voted to elect as directors of three board nominees, Don Collyn, Tom Gartland, and Wendy Webb. Stockholders have voted for the amendment to the company's Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the board, for the resolution approving on an advisory basis the compensation of the company's executives named in the company's 2020 proxy statement, and to ratify the appointment of KPMG as ABM independent auditors for 2020. Andrea, please file the proxies, ballots, and the report of the Inspector of Elections as part of the records of this meeting. In accordance with federal security laws, the final results of the voting will be reported in the current report on Form eight ks that the company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the meeting. This concludes the meeting and the meeting is now formally adjourned.
Thank you for all attending and be safe. Thank you.
The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
