I will act as chair of this meeting. I will now call the meeting to order. Thank you very much to those who are attending today. In order to conduct an orderly meeting and give all stockholders an opportunity to participate, we will follow the agenda and rules of conduct that are posted for stockholders on the virtual meeting portal.

Questions must be relevant to the conduct of the meeting. We will respond to as many relevant questions as possible during the meeting.
Recording of this meeting is prohibited. Now, I would like to welcome the other members of the board who are attending this meeting. Cornelius Michiel van Katwijk, Thomas W. Corbett Jr., and Adam Gusky. I would also like to welcome our executive officers who are attending this meeting. Elena Plesco, our Chief Investment Officer, Samantha Butcher, our President of Abacus Life Solutions, Alex A. Solomon, our Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer, and Bill McCauley, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who will also act as the Secretary of this meeting and as the Inspector of Election for this meeting. Finally, Casey Bartok from KPMG, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, is also in attendance. At this time, I will call upon Bill McCauley to establish that this meeting has been duly called and that a quorum is present. Bill?
Thank you, Jay. The board fixed April 20th, 2026, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice and vote at this meeting. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the company's transfer agent, has provided a list of stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date. This list was available to stockholders for inspection at the company's principal executive offices for the 10 days prior to this meeting. It is also available for inspection during this meeting. Broadridge, the company's mailing agent, provided an affidavit attesting to the fact that mailing of the notice of meeting, the proxy statement, and the 2025 annual report commenced on April 23rd, 2026, and reports that stockholders owning at least a majority of the voting power entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or by proxy. Accordingly, Jay, a quorum is present.
Thank you. On the basis of the secretary's report, the meeting is duly convened. The polls will open when all of the proposals have been presented and will close immediately prior to announcements of the preliminary results. Bill, please present the proposals.
Thank you, Jay. Proposal number one is for the election of the following nominees to serve on the board as Class III directors and to hold office until the company's 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Jay Jackson and Thomas W. Corbett Jr. All nominees currently are members of the board. Proposal number two is for the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. Proposal number three is the adoption of the Abacus Global Management 2026 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Proposal number four is for the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of the company's named executive officers. Proposal number five is for the approval on an advisory basis of the frequency every one, two, or three years of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
Thank you, Bill. The company has not received advance notice from any stockholder, as required by its bylaws, of any other matter to be considered at today's meeting. No other proposals may be properly introduced by stockholders. I now declare the polls open for voting. Any stockholder who has not yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the virtual meeting portal and following the instructions therein. Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted by telephone or the internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action.
If any stockholder wishes to ask a question regarding the proposals now being voted on or any other pertinent annual meeting matters, you may now submit such comment or questions by entering it in the area labeled Ask a Question in the meeting portal and clicking the Submit button. There being no further questions on the proposals or any other pertinent annual meeting matters, and now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls for the 2026 Abacus Global Management, Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders closed. The next item on the agenda is the preliminary report of the inspector of election. Any ballots submitted before the polls closed but not reflected in the preliminary report will be reflected in the final report of the inspector of election. I call upon the secretary to present the preliminary report of the inspector of election.
Jay, the inspector of election has presented his preliminary report informing that on proposal 1, the 2 Class III director nominees, Jay Jackson and Thomas W. Corbett Jr., have been duly elected to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
