Welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of Arvinas, Inc's stockholders. I would now like to introduce Briggs Morrison, M.D., Chair of the Board of Directors for Arvinas.
Good morning, welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Arvinas, Incorporated. I'm Briggs Morrison, Chair of the Board of Directors of Arvinas. I'll be presiding over this meeting. I welcome you all and call the meeting to order. This year, we are again holding our annual meeting in an all-virtual format and are pleased to have everyone join this live webcast. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting facilitates stockholder attendance and participation at our annual meeting by enabling stockholders to participate from any location around the world. We have designed this meeting to provide stockholders the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. Before we get to the formal business of the meeting, I would like to make some introductions.
From Arvinas' leadership team, I would like to introduce the executive officers, Randy Teel, President and Chief Executive Officer, and a Director, Andrew Saik, Chief Financial Officer, and Angela Cacace, our Chief Scientific Officer. Also joining us at the meeting today as directors, in addition to Randy, are Linda Bain, Everett Cunningham, John Houston, Edward Kennedy, Leslie Norwalk, and Laurie Smaldone Alsup . I'd also like to introduce Jared Freedberg, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Jim Raitt of American Election Services, LLC, our Inspector of Election, and James Holmes and Kara Seamon, representatives from Deloitte & Touche, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, I call your attention to the rules of conduct posted on the virtual meeting website, which include information about participating in the meeting, including asking questions.
Please note that various remarks that we may make about the future expectations, plans, and prospects for the company constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provision under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the Risk Factor section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, these forward-looking statements represent the company's expectations only as of today. While the company may elect to update these forward-looking statements, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Any forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's estimate or views as of any date subsequent to today.
I received an affidavit from the company's proxy service provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions Incorporated, certifying that the notice of the annual meeting and proxy statement were sent to all stockholders of record as of April 27, 2026. Copy of which will be included alongside the minutes of this meeting. Our first order of business at this meeting is to determine whether the shares represented at this meeting, either in person or via this virtual meeting by proxy, are sufficient to constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business. Holders of 64,517,472 shares of common stock are entitled to vote at this meeting.
The inspector of election has informed me that there are present at this meeting, either in person or by proxy, a total of at least 51,123,259 shares of common stock, or approximately 79.24% of all shares entitled to vote at this meeting. Therefore, I declare that a quorum exists. Turning now to the items to be voted on at this meeting, as indicated in the notice of the meeting and accompanying documents that were made available to stockholders. First matter to be voted on is the election of Class II directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The two nominees for election are Leslie Norwalk and Randy Teel.
The next matter to be voted upon is the advisory vote to approve the company's executive compensation. The proxy statement for this meeting will contain the text of the resolution that stockholders are asked to approve. Final matter to be voted on is the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. I hereby declare the polls are now open for each matter to be voted upon today. If you have not yet voted or if you previously voted by proxy and wish to change your vote, you may vote by clicking on the voting button on the virtual meeting website and following the instructions there. We will pause briefly to allow stockholders to vote.
Now that everyone has had an opportunity to vote, the business items on the agenda for this meeting are complete, and the polls are now closed. Will Jim Raitt please tabulate the votes? We now have the preliminary report of the results of the meeting. Each of the nominees for director has been elected as a Class II director. Congratulations to each of them. The advisory resolution approving executive compensation has been approved. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP has been ratified. Final votes will be included in the current report on Form 8-K that will be filed within four business days after this meeting. As there is no further business to come before this meeting, I declare the formal part of this meeting adjourned. We will now use our remaining available time to answer appropriate questions from the stockholders.
Please follow the instructions provided on the virtual meeting website to submit your questions. There are no questions submitted. Thank you for that. The meeting has concluded. Thank you all.
Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude the meeting. Thank you for your participation, and you may now disconnect.
