The polls are now open. The first item of business is the election of the class 1 directors. Mike Schoeb , Phyllis Knight, and Robert Barragan have been nominated by our board of directors to serve as class 1 directors until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or their office is otherwise vacated.
