Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to Anterix 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I would now like to turn the call over to Tom Kuhn, Executive Chairman of the Anterix Board of Directors. Please go ahead.
Good morning, everyone. I'd like to welcome you to our 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting. Thank you very much for joining us. Today, I will serve as chair of this annual meeting of stockholders and would like to call the meeting to order. This meeting is being held pursuant to the notice of annual meeting mailed to the company stockholders on or about June 25th, 2026. I would like to introduce the other members of the Board, in addition to myself, present at today's meeting. Scott Lang, our President and CEO, Mahvash Yazdi, Lead Independent Director, Jeff Altman, Les Daniels, Mark Fleischauer, and William Heard. All of whom are also director nominees at today's meeting.
The other executive officers present today are Gena Ashe, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Elena Marquez, Chief Financial Officer, Chris Guttman-McCabe, Chief Regulatory and Communications Officer, Kimberly Green-Kerr, Chief Revenue Officer, and Heather Martin, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief of Staff. Following the introduction of the auditors, we will conduct the business portion of our meeting. At the end of our meeting and after our business is concluded, we will leave a few minutes to answer any general questions from stockholders. Though we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to respond to as many as possible. Gena, will you please introduce our auditors and inspectors of elections and provide the meeting logistics?
Thank you, Tom. As you mentioned, we are also joined by Fernando Alonso from Deloitte & Touche, which the audit committee has appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31st, 2027. Mr. Alonso will be available during the question and answer session at the end of the meeting to respond to any appropriate questions. In addition, we are joined by Natalie Hairston of American Election Services, whom the company has appointed as our Inspector of Elections for this meeting. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. However, no one attending via the webcast is permitted to use any audio recording device. You may vote at any time during the meeting until the voting is closed.
If you sent in proxies or already voted via tele-internet and do not want to change your vote, you do not need to vote during today's meeting. If, however, you have not yet voted or wish to change your vote, you may do so by clicking on the voting button and following the instructions there. We will pause for voting after presenting the proposals to allow you a final opportunity to vote. The board of directors has fixed June 11th, 2026, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. The list of holders of common stock at the close of business on June 11th, 2026, is available at the registered shareholders list link at the bottom of the meeting portal.
An affidavit has been delivered attesting that the proxy statement and the annual report on Form 10-K were mailed on or about June 25th, 2026, to all stockholders as of the record date and will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. The list of holders of common stock of the company shows that as of the record date, 19,261,270 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting. The Inspector of Elections advises me that the holders of at least a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date are represented at this annual meeting, either on the virtual platform or by proxy. Therefore, a quorum is present to transact business on today's agenda. Tom will now walk us through the proposals included in today's agenda.
Thank you, Gena. At this time, we will consider the items of business on the agenda set forth in the notice of annual meeting. Each of the items of business on the agenda was described in the proxy statement for this meeting. Proposal one. The first matter to be considered at today's meeting is the election of directors to hold office until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The candidates for election are Scott Lang, Mahvash Yazdi, Jeffrey Altman, Leslie Daniels, Mark Fleischhauer, William Heard, and Thomas Kuhn. Proposal two. The second matter to be considered is the proposal regarding the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the proxy statement.
This vote, often called a say on pay vote, is required under the Dodd-Frank Act. An annual vote is consistent with the frequency preferred by our stockholders It is a non-binding vote, although the Compensation Committee and the board will consider the results of the vote when making future compensation decisions. Proposal three. The third matter to be considered is a proposal to approve amendment number two to the Anterix 2023 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares available to us for issuance to our employees and our non-employee directors. Proposal four. The fourth matter to be considered is the proposal on the advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the proxy statement.
This vote, often called a say on frequency vote, is a non-binding vote, although the Compensation Committee and the board will consider the results of the vote when determining the frequency of future say on pay votes. Proposal five. The fifth matter to be considered is a proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The board recommends that the stockholders vote for each of the director nominees in proposal one and for proposals two, three, four, and five. At this time, we will pause to allow any stockholder who has not yet voted or wishes to change their vote to do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there.
Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I now declare the polls for the 2026 Anterix annual stockholders meeting closed. We will now give the Inspector of Elections time to provide a tally of the votes cast. Gena, do we have the preliminary voting results?
Yes, we do. The Inspector of Elections informs us that based upon the proxy votes received prior to the meeting, plus the votes received this morning, the preliminary vote report shows that each of the nominees for election to the board has been duly elected. The compensation of the named executive officers has been approved by advisory vote. Amendment number two to the Anterix Inc 2023 Stock Plan has been approved. The frequency of future advisory votes regarding the compensation of named executive officers has been set at one year, and the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2027, has been ratified. We will report the final vote results on a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Thank you, Gena. Having completed all the actions to be considered, the formal portion of this meeting is now adjourned. I would now like to open the floor for any general questions from stockholders. If any stockholder would like to ask a general question, please submit your questions through the web portal at this time and be sure to identify yourself as well. Please note we will attempt to answer as many questions as time allows.
There are no questions in the queue at this time. I'll now turn the call over to Tom Kuhn for closing remarks.
