Welcome to the AudioEye 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I will now turn the call over to the company to begin.
Good morning. I am Kelly Georgevich, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a Director of AudioEye. Present with me is Matt Kuhn, outside counsel to AudioEye. On behalf of AudioEye's board of directors and officers, I welcome you to our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is now called to order. I will now call on Matt Kuhn to conduct the meeting.
Thank you, Ms. Georgevich. Good morning, everyone. Delaware law permits Delaware corporations, such as AudioEye, to hold annual stockholder meetings solely by means of what is termed as remote communication, which includes audio and which is what we are doing today. Using remote communication, stockholders can participate in the meeting, be deemed present at the meeting, and vote at the meeting. The polls are now open for voting. If you wish to vote, please follow the voting instructions on the website you accessed to join the meeting. You may vote during the meeting whether or not you have already voted by proxy. However, if you already have voted by proxy, you do not need to vote during the meeting unless you would like to change your vote. You may use the website to submit questions in the text box located on the screen.
Any questions relating to the two proposals set forth in the proxy statement and otherwise presented in accordance with the rules of conduct for this meeting may be addressed after the proposals have been presented and prior to the polls closing. The record date for voting at the meeting was May 6th, 2026. 12,493,415 shares of common stock were outstanding as of the record date and are entitled to one vote each. I submit for the company's records affidavits of mailing to stockholders of record of common stock. Copies of the affidavits will be available for inspection and will be placed in the permanent records of the meeting. The board of directors has appointed Richard Leza to act as the Inspector of Election. Mr. Leza is in telephonic attendance at this meeting.
Mr. Leza informed me that more than 50% of the voting power of the company's outstanding stock entitled to vote at today's meeting is represented by proxy or in person at this meeting. As a result, a quorum is present. Ms. Georgevich is named to act as proxy for those who have voted by proxy prior to today. She will vote those proxies as directed. If no such directions are given, she will vote for the board's nominees for director and for Proposal 2, all as specified in the notice of virtual annual meeting and proxy statement, with the stipulation that the Inspector of Election will record any withhold votes, against votes, abstentions, or broker non-votes contained in the proxies held by management on an item-by-item basis. As stated in the virtual notice of annual meeting, there are two proposals to come before the meeting today.
The first proposal is the election of the directors. The five nominees for election as director are Dr. Kathryn Fleming, Kelly Georgevich, James Hawkins, David Moradi, and Jamil Tahir. The next proposal is the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the 2025 compensation of the company's named executive officers with the specific proposal set forth in the proxy statement. Ms. Georgevich, have any questions been submitted concerning either of the two proposals that should be addressed at the meeting?
No.
The polls are now closed. The Inspector of Election has reported to me that the votes have been tabulated. The preliminary results are as follows. Each of Dr. Kathryn Fleming, Kelly Georgevich, James Hawkins, David Moradi, and Jamil Tahir are elected as directors of AudioEye to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders. The resolution asking for approval of the 2025 compensation of the company's named executive officers, as described in the proxy statement, has been approved. Please note that the Inspector of Election will furnish a written report of the final vote count for each of these matters. The final vote count will be reflected in the minutes of this meeting and in the Form 8-K that the company will file with the SEC to report the results of this meeting.
I direct that the certificate of the Inspector of Election be filed with the records of the company. This concludes the business of the annual meeting. As there is no other business to consider, the annual meeting is adjourned. Thank you very much for attending today.
Thank you for joining the AudioEye 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You may now disconnect, and have a great rest of your day.
