Hello. My name is Colby and I'll be your operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the AMC Global Media Inc.'s annual meeting of stockholders. I would now like to hand the meeting over to Jim Dolan. Please go ahead, sir.
Good morning. Welcome to AMC Global Media's annual meeting of stockholders. I am Jim Dolan, chairman of AMC Global Media, and I would like to thank you all for attending. Joining me today are Kristin Dolan, our CEO, Sal Romanello, our general counsel, and Anne Kelly, our corporate secretary. We are also joined by members of our board of directors. As a procedural matter, I will start by calling the meeting to order and declare the polls open for the proposals to be transacted at this meeting. The polls will remain open until Ms. Kelly has presented the proposals, and stockholders who intend to vote today have had an opportunity to do so. I will now turn the meeting over to Anne.
Thank you, Jim. I'm Anne Kelly, corporate secretary of AMC Global Media, and I will now take you through the procedures we will be following for today's meeting, including details for the voting portion. Our agenda and the rules of conduct for this meeting are available on our virtual meeting portal and will be strictly followed. Please note that if we experience technical issues such as loss of audio or webcast connection, we ask that stockholders stand by for at least 15 minutes and allow us time to try and resolve the issue and resume the meeting. If a technical disruption occurs that prevents us from continuing the meeting, but the polls have already closed, all votes received prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been validly cast and will be counted.
The meeting will not be reconvened and will be deemed to have been validly completed and the vote results will be announced publicly. Today's meeting is being conducted in conformity with the laws of the state of Nevada and the company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. The notice of the meeting and proxy materials describing today's business have been sent or made available to all of the company's stockholders. The company has received an affidavit of distribution from Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., stating that the notice and the accompanying proxy materials and the annual report and Form 10-K were distributed to our stockholders of record on or about April 20th, 2026. Copies of these documents will be retained with the records of this meeting. In addition, the proxies and the certified list of stockholders are in the custody of the Inspector of Election.
Francis Byrd has been appointed Inspector of Election for today's meeting. He has taken his oath, which has been filed with the company's records and has confirmed that a quorum is present and the business of the meeting may proceed. A list of registered stockholders of the company entitled to vote at this meeting is available on the virtual meeting portal for inspection by any stockholder or proxy holder. We have invited our independent accounting firm to attend this meeting. Dan Marr, Frank Albarella, and Mackenzie Edwards are here today to represent KPMG LLP. The proposals to be voted on today are fully described in the company's proxy statement. If a stockholder would like to comment or submit a question on a proposal, they may do so by using the Ask a Question box at the bottom of the virtual meeting portal.
If a stockholder has an appropriate question or comment not related to the proposals, an opportunity will be provided following the voting on proposals. As stated in the rules of conduct for this meeting, any stockholder submitting a question should include their full name and the number of shares owned or held by proxy, and the specific proposal to which your question relates. If you have already submitted a question but have not provided this information, please resubmit the question. Questions that do not include a stockholder's name and number of shares will not be answered. The first proposal to be voted on at this meeting is the election of three directors by our Class A stockholders and seven directors by our Class B stockholders. Biographical information and the qualifications of each director nominee are presented in the proxy statement.
The second proposal is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026. The third proposal is approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of the company's named executive officers, as described in the proxy statement. The fourth proposal is approval of the company's amended and restated 2011 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of these proposals. We would now like to open the meeting up for stockholder questions related to any of the proposals. Only questions specifically relevant to one of the proposals can be asked at this time. Any stockholder submitting a question should include their full name and number of shares owned or held by proxy. If you have already submitted a question but have not provided this information, please resubmit the question.
Questions that do not include a stockholder's name and number of shares will not be answered. Please note that in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, there may be certain questions that we are not permitted to answer. I'd now like to introduce Nick Seibert, our Head of Investor Relations, who is helping us today with any questions.
Thank you, Anne. At this time, I don't see any questions related to the proposals in the queue.
Thanks, Nick. We will now proceed with the voting. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again. If you haven't voted or if you want to change your vote, you may do so now by clicking on the Vote Here button in the virtual meeting portal. In accordance with the instructions of our chairman, the polls are now closed. I have been informed by the Inspector of Elections that based on the preliminary voting results, each of the 3 Class A and the 7 Class B director nominees has been elected as a director of the company. In addition, the appointment of KPMG as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026 has been ratified. The stockholders have approved the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation. The amended and restated 2011 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors has also been approved.
We will now open the meeting up for any questions not related to the proposals. As a reminder, as the purpose of this meeting is to address questions of importance to the overall company and our stockholders in general, we will not be entertaining questions related to individual circumstances, individual employees, or other non-germane topics. As stated in our rules of conduct, each stockholder is allowed to pose two questions. Any stockholder submitting a question should include their full name and the number of shares owned or held by proxy. If you have already submitted a question but have not provided this information, please resubmit the question. Questions that do not include a stockholder's name and number of shares will not be answered. Nick, do we have any questions?
There are no questions, Anne.
Thanks, Nick. I will now turn the meeting back over to Jim for closing remarks.
Thank you all for joining us today. We appreciate your interest and investment in AMC Global Media. As there are no further matters to come before the meeting, the meeting is adjourned.
Thank you. This concludes today's meeting. You may now disconnect.
