Welcome and thank you for joining Autodesk's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I'm Pascal DiFranzo, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, and I will conduct a formal business portion of the meeting today. After we complete the formal portion of the meeting, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Scott Herron, will be available to respond to questions. As a reminder, this meeting is being webcast live and will be available for replay later today. Before we get started, I'd like to introduce the members of our Board of Directors present here in person or telephonically today.
Andrew Anagnos, Crawford Beverage, Karen Blazing, Reed French, Tom Georgians, Mary McDowell, Laurie Norrington, Betsy Raffel and Stacy Smith. I'd like to thank the Board, including in particular, Carl Bass, Tom Georgians and Rick Hill, who are not standing for reelection, for their service and support in the past year. Now that we have finished the introductions, I call the meeting to order. I approve by affidavit from Broadridge Financial Solutions that notice of this meeting has been duly given and that a proxy statement and a proxy card have been furnished or made available to all stockholders of record as of April 16, 2018. As the Inspector of Election, I have signed an oath of office.
The affidavit of mailing and the Oath of Inspector of Election will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. We have informed by Broadridge that we have present in person and by proxy a sufficient number of shares to constitute a quorum. So I can tell you that the meeting is duly constituted. We will vote by proxy ballot today. If you have already turned in a proxy, then it is not necessary to vote now because we will count your proxy.
If you did not turn in a proxy or if you wish to change your vote, please raise your hand so that we may give you a written ballot to use for voting. We will collect these ballots at the end of the voting portion of the meeting. It is now 304 on June 12, 2018, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now open. The first item of formal business is the election of 8 directors to serve until next year's annual meeting. The persons named in the proxy statement have been nominated to serve as Directors of the company for the ensuing year.
They are Andrew Anagnas, Crawford Beverage, Karen Blazing, Reed French, Mary McDowell, Lori Norrington, Betsy Raphael and Stacy Smith. Those of you who are voting should mark your ballots now. The next item of formal business is to ratify the appointment of the firm of Ernst and Young LLP as Autodesk's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019. Those of you who are voting should mark your ballots now. The next item of business is to hold a non binding vote to approve the compensation of Autodesk's named executive officers.
Those of you who are voting should mark your ballots now. If you have voted today, please raise your hand so that we may collect your ballot and have it recorded by the Inspector of Election. It is now 305 on June 12, 2018, and the polls for each matter to be voted on at this meeting are now closed. Based upon all the proxies and ballots received prior to commencement of the meeting and subject to final adjustment of the numbers of any ballots collected here today, I can tell you that all 8 of the nominated directors have been reelected to the Board of Directors to serve until the company's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The appointment of Ernst and Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year has been ratified.
The non binding vote regarding compensation of the company's named executive officers has been approved. This concludes the formal business of the meeting. We will now adjourn the formal portion of the annual meeting of stockholders. And I will now open up the meeting for stockholder questions to Scott Herron regarding the company's performance. Thank you.
Hey, John, this is Clancy. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. We're done.
