Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am Erin Kane, President and Chief Executive Officer of AdvanSix. On behalf of the Board and the company, I am pleased to welcome you all to the 2026 Annual Meeting of AdvanSix stockholders, which is again being hosted virtually this year, transmitted by live audio webcast. As chair of this meeting, I hereby call this meeting to order. I would like to introduce the company's directors and executive officers who are in attendance today. Our independent directors who have been nominated for re-election that have joined us virtually are Todd Karran, Chair of our Board, Jeffrey Bird, Dr. Gena Lovett, Donald Newman, Dana O'Brien, Daryl Roberts, Sharon Spurlin, and Patrick Williams.
With us today from management are Patrick Day, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Achilles Kintiroglou, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, Kelly Slieter, our Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, and Christopher Gramm, our Vice President of Corporate Finance and Strategic Financial Planning and Analysis. I will now turn the meeting over to our Corporate Secretary, Achilles Kintiroglou, to proceed with the business of the meeting.
In the interest of an orderly meeting, I would kindly ask our stockholders to honor the rules governing conduct, which have been posted on the virtual meeting website. These set forth the proper procedures for stockholders to conduct themselves during the course of today's meeting. In accordance with the provisions of Delaware law, the Board has appointed Peter Hagberg from Carl Hagberg and Associates to serve as the Inspector of Elections at this meeting. Prior to the meeting, Mr. Hagberg subscribed the oath as the Inspector of Elections, which I have reviewed. Also present at this meeting and available to answer questions is Kara Hammond from the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the company's independent registered public accountant.
As noted in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement dated April 29, 2026, the record date for voting at this meeting was the close of business on April 24, 2026. As required by our bylaws, an alphabetical list of stockholders on the record date has been available for review. Based upon the percentage of the total shares of the company held by holders of record now present at this meeting, either in person or by proxy, I hereby confirm that a quorum is present and that the meeting has been properly convened. We will now attend to the items of business to be addressed at today's meeting. There are three proposals being considered at this time, each as described in the proxy statement previously provided to you.
Our first proposal is to elect the following nine director nominees to our board of directors: Mr. Jeffrey Bird, Ms. Erin Kane, Mr. Todd Karran, Dr. Gena Lovett, Mr. Donald Newman, Ms. Dana O'Brien, Mr. Daryl Roberts, Ms. Sharon Spurlin, and Mr. Patrick Williams. Our second proposal is to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2026. Our third proposal is our say on pay vote to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our executive officers as set forth in the proxy statement. We will now proceed with the voting tabulation. If you have not already voted by proxy and would like to vote today or if you would like to change your vote, you may do so by clicking on the voting button on the virtual meeting screen and following the stated instructions.
If you have already voted, you do not need to take any action at this time. The polls are hereby declared closed at this time. The votes on the proposals have been tabulated. The following represents our preliminary voting results. Proposal number one, the company has received approximately 20 million-21 million votes in favor of each nominated board member, representing approximately 97%-99% of the vote cast. Therefore, all of the nominated directors have been duly elected for a term to expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and, in each case, until her or his respective successor has been duly elected and qualified.
Proposal number two, the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year has received approximately 23 million votes in favor of the proposal, representing approximately 98% of the vote cast. Therefore, this proposal has been approved. Proposal number three, the proposal to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our executive officers as set forth in the proxy statement, has received approximately 21 million votes in favor of the proposal, representing approximately 98% of the vote cast. Therefore, this proposal has been approved on an advisory basis. With that, the formal business of the meeting has concluded. The Inspector of Elections will submit his final report and certificate for the company's files.
The final vote results will be reported in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of today's meeting.
Thank you, Achilles. Once again, I want to thank all of you for joining us here today at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and for your support of AdvanSix. The meeting is hereby adjourned. We hope that you and your family stay safe and healthy.
This concludes today's meeting. Again, thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
