Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I will now turn the call over to Steve Macadam to begin the meeting. Please go ahead.
Good morning. I'm Steve Macadam, the board chair for Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc, and I will be chairing today's meeting. On behalf of the board, our management team, and employees, we would like to welcome you to our annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of the rules of conduct and procedures for today's meeting are posted on the meeting website. As provided in the agenda, we will conduct the formal business of the annual meeting as set forth in our notice of meeting and proxy statement. After we present the company's proposals, which make up the formal business of the meeting, there will be a question and answer period. All the members of our board of directors and the company's senior management team have joined our virtual meeting. Representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, are also present. The Inspector of Elections today is Tracy Oats.
Ms. Oats has in her possession an affidavit of distribution attesting to the mailing of the notice of the meeting, proxy statement, proxy card, notice of Internet availability, and annual report to stockholders. Ms. Oats has reported that the majority of the stockholders entitled to participate in the meeting are represented online or by proxy. We have a quorum and may proceed with the business portion of the meeting. Our meeting is officially called to order. The polls are open and will close after the presentation of the last company proposal. Only stockholders who held shares as of the record date for this meeting are entitled to vote shares. If you have already voted your shares, there's no need to vote again unless you wish to change your vote.
If you would like to vote your shares or change your vote, you may do so while the polls are open by following the instructions on your screen. The list of stockholders entitled to notice of this meeting are available for inspection by stockholders. Laura Heltebran, Corporate Secretary of the company, will serve as the secretary of the meeting. She'll take us through the presentations of the proposals.
Thank you, Steve. As set forth in the meeting notice, there are three items to be voted on at this meeting. The first item to be considered today is the election of directors. As a reminder, at last year's annual meeting, the stockholders of the company approved amending and restating the company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to declassify the board of directors and phase in annual director elections. As such, the board has nominated Stephanie Disher, Diego Donoso, Heath Sharp, and Stuart Taylor as directors to serve for a 1-year term to expire at the 2027 annual meeting or until their successors shall be elected and shall qualify. The second item to be considered today is the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of Atmus' named executive officers.
The vote on this proposal is advisory, but the board will consider the results in evaluating our executive compensation program. The third item to be considered today is the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. As there is no further business to come before the meeting, the polls will now close. The Inspector of Elections has determined that based on the votes cast and received, each of the directors has been elected and each of the other company proposals has passed. The official voting results will be disclosed in a filing with the SEC.
Thank you, Laura. This now concludes the business of the meeting. Therefore, I declare the meeting adjourned. We will now proceed to any questions. If there are no further questions, we thank you for attending today's meeting and wish you well.
The meeting has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect your lines.
