We have an affidavit of mailing establishing that notice of this annual meeting was duly given. A copy of the notice of meeting and the affidavit of mailing will be incorporated into the minutes of the meeting. All stockholders of record at the close of business on October 24, 2025, are entitled to vote at this annual meeting. We would now like to open the polls and attend to the business of this meeting by acting on the matters described in the notice of annual meeting that was sent with the company's definitive proxy statement to all stockholders. The board's recommendation on each of the matters to be voted on at this meeting is set forth in the company's definitive proxy statement. Bill?
We will now open the polls to receive those votes and allow anyone wishing to vote at this meeting the opportunity to do so. The polls are now open. The polls will close after all proposals have been presented. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote today. If you have not yet voted, or if you've previously voted but wish to change your vote, you may vote before the polls close by clicking on the vote link on the web portal through which you access this meeting.

The first proposal before the stockholders is to elect five directors. The board has nominated Nancy K. Bryan, Thomas K. Equels, William M. Mitchell, Ted D. Kellner, and David Chemerow for election as directors of the company. The second proposal is to ratify on a non-binding advisory basis the selection of BDO USA, P.C. as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The third proposal is to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the company's named executive officer compensation as disclosed in the company's definitive proxy statement. The fourth proposal is to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation. Your board recommends voting for all of the board's nominees on proposal one, four on proposal two, four on proposal three, and one year for proposal four.
Under the procedures in our bylaws, no other matters may be properly presented at this meeting, so that completes the items to be voted on at this meeting.
Okay. We're now going to close the polls. I'm going to pause for a few moments to allow anyone in the midst of voting to complete it before we go to close the meeting. So give me a few moments. Stockholders have been provided an opportunity to vote. I hereby declare the polls closed. I'll turn it back over to Tom.
We have been informed by the Independent Inspector of Elections that the final voting results may take several days to tabulate. We will file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the final voting results after we receive a report from the Independent Inspector of Elections. Bill?
All right. Let's conclude the business portion of our meeting. Thank you for attending today's meeting. The formal business portion of this meeting is adjourned.
We will now address any appropriate questions submitted through the virtual meeting platform. I will read any appropriate questions that have been submitted, then I will provide a response on behalf of the company. There being no questions, thank you very much. That concludes our time allotted for questions, and we will now close the meeting. Again, thank you for being an AIM stockholder and attending our annual meeting today.
This concludes today's meeting. You may now disconnect.
