I would now like to welcome everyone to the business portion of the meeting and turn it over to the board chair, Patricia Bedient.
Thank you, operator. I will now introduce our director nominees. This year there are 10 director nominees, and each has agreed to serve a one-year term.

It is a privilege to work with them. KPMG is the company's independent public accountant, represented by Lewis Collins at today's meeting. He is available to respond to any questions you may have for KPMG regarding the company's financial statements. I will now call the meeting to order. Our general counsel and corporate secretary, Kyle Levine, will take us through the business portion of the meeting and rule on any questions concerning the conduct and order of the meeting.
Thank you, Patty. This year, shareholders have been asked to vote on three proposals. All shareholders entitled to vote at this meeting were sent notice that proxy materials were available online and by hard copy upon request. After a preliminary count, more than 92 million shares or over 81% of the eligible shares are represented, which gives us a quorum. As soon as all of the proposals in the proxy statement have been presented, we will take the vote. Shareholders who have already voted by proxy don't need to vote again except to change their vote. Registered shareholders and those with a legal proxy can vote during the meeting by clicking on the Vote Here icon. As Patty mentioned, we will address questions of general interest to our shareholders following the vote.
If you have any questions regarding today's proposal, proposals rather, please submit them online now as we describe them. Today's voting will conclude, and the polls will close following the conclusion of this program. We will report the preliminary results at the end of the program. The first proposal is the election of 10 directors. Patty introduced the board's nominees, whose names and qualifications are set out in the company's proxy statement. Each of the directors elected today will serve a one-year term ending with the 2027 annual meeting. The second proposal is an advisory vote regarding the compensation of the company's named executive officers. While this vote is advisory in nature, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee will take the results into consideration when deciding future executive compensation arrangements. The third proposal is the ratification of KPMG as the company's independent accountants for 2025.
We received no questions directly related to these proposals. This concludes the presentation of matters to be voted on.
That concludes the business portion of our meeting, which is now officially adjourned. Kyle, I'll hand it over to you for the question- and- answer portion of the meeting.
Thank you, Patty. We had two pre-submitted questions and have allotted about 10 minutes for questions from our shareholders. If you do have a question of general interest, please submit it online. While shareholders submit their questions, I'd like to introduce our Assistant Corporate Secretary, Kelley Harrison, who will help present the questions we receive. Kelley, would you please read the pre-submitted questions and any live questions from our shareholders?
Yes. Patty, the first question is for you. When will Alaska Air Group reinstate dividends?
Thanks, Kelley. Air Group has a long history of balanced capital allocation, and that allows us to grow and create value for our business, our people, and our shareholders. At the present time, we are focused on maintaining strong liquidity, so we have the resources and flexibility to adapt in this period of uncertainty for our industry.
We will continue to evaluate when restarting dividends might make sense for Air Group.
Thank you, Patty. Ben, the next question is for you. What is Alaska doing to appeal to premium customers?
Hey, thank you. That's a great question. We've been on a premium journey starting about 10 years ago, and we've invested a lot in the premium experience. We don't just see the premium experience as on board the airplane. The premium experience starts with the digital experience with the app and on the website. When you come to our lobbies, if you visited Seattle or Portland recently, we believe we have one of the best lobby experiences in the country. We just introduced a new premium lobby experience in Seattle for titanium users, our high elite users, and for those flying internationally in first class. On board, you know, along with our award-winning service, we have some of the highest Net Promoter Scores in the country.
We've upped our food and beverage service. This all gets wrapped up with our loyalty program. We have an award-winning loyalty program, Atmos Rewards. It is an end-to-end premium experience that we are proud to offer and lead in several categories. That said, although it represents a large percentage of our revenues, we're not just focused on premium travelers. We've You know, our airline focuses on every segment of the traveler. We have saver fares. We have a beautiful and spacious main cabin with one of the most generous leg rooms in the industry. We feel like we're in a good place, and we're continuing that journey and we feel that this is the right strategy for Alaska Air Group.
Kelley, are there any further questions?
There are no further questions.
All right. In that case, that concludes the Q&A portion of today's meeting. The votes have been tabulated, and the preliminary results indicate that the 10 directors introduced earlier by Patty have each been elected to a one-year term on the Board of Directors, with each director receiving the approval of at least 88% of the shares present. On Proposal 2, the advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officers received the approval of approximately 90% of the shares present and entitled to vote. Proposal 3, ratification of the company's independent accountants have passed, receiving the approval of approximately 93% of the shares present and entitled to vote. Our final voting results will be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K within the next few business days and will also be available on alaskaair.com.
