Welcome to the Axon Enterprise Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I will now turn it over to your host, Rick Smith. Please go ahead, sir.
All right. Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Rick Smith, and I'm the founder, CEO, and a director of Axon Enterprise. Welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. If you're only listening over the phone, please go to investor.axon.com, scroll down to Events, and access the link to see us on Zoom. Again, that's investor, I-N-V-E-S-T-O-R, .axon.com. Now, turning to the formal portion of the meeting, I'd like to introduce our directors and executive officers who are attending the meeting today. For each director, if you could just say a quick hello after I say your name, so the camera will be flipped to you. Let's try that. All right. First, our board members. Let's start with Michael Garnreiter, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Hello, Rick. Hello, everyone.
Next up, Erika Ayers Badan.
Hi, how are you?
Next, Adriane Brown.

Finally, Caitlin Kalinowski. I'm not sure if she could make it. All right. She's out working hard in the world of AI. Okay. Our President, Josh Isner. Say hi, Josh.
Hello, everybody.
Our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Brittany Bagley.
Hello, everyone.
Our Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer, Jeff Kunins. Our Chief Revenue Officer, Cameron Brooks.
Good afternoon, everybody.
I would also like to welcome Alison McNerney, Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, our independent registered public accounting firm. Also,
Hi, everyone.
Oh, sorry about that, Alison. I was on mute. Good afternoon, everyone. Sorry. All right. Those darn mute buttons. It's a Zoom world. Okay, before we get started, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Julie Cullivan and Matt McBrady for their service on Axon's board of directors. They have been invaluable thought leaders and trusted advisors as we've navigated Axon's responsible growth, and it has been an absolute pleasure working alongside them.
If you have any questions for our management team, you may submit them using the Q&A feature in the online virtual meeting at, get ready for this, folks, www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/axon2026. I'm going to go ahead and hit that for you again. It's www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/axon2026. Today's meeting will be in two phases. First, we will conduct the formal part of the meeting to consider each of the proposals listed in the notice of annual meetings of shareholders, dated April 16th, 2026, and to conduct such other business as may properly come before the meeting. The second part of the meeting will consist of a question and answer session with our executive team and will be conducted via Zoom only. I will call your attention to the rules of conduct set forth for this meeting. These are made available to each shareholder in the meeting platform.
We ask the participants to abide by these rules so that we can conduct an orderly meeting. With that, we will now begin the formal portion of today's meeting. Isaiah Fields, our Corporate Secretary, will be recording the minutes of this meeting, and Robert Driscoll has been appointed to serve as the Inspector of Election. He has also signed the oath of office, which will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. I'd now like to call on Isaiah Fields to establish that we have met the necessary corporate requirements to begin.
Thank you, Rick. We have proof that notice of this meeting and related proxy materials were mailed or made available around April 16th, 2026 to all shareholders as of the record date of March 31st. Based on that, this meeting is duly called with timely and proper notice. As of March 31st, 2026, there were 80,572,201 shares outstanding. We have 72,108,645 present by person or proxy of this meeting, which is nearly 90% of the outstanding shares, and that constitutes a quorum, permitting the transaction of business. Each share entitles the holder to one vote on any matter which may come before the meeting. A list of registered shareholders entitled to vote is available for examination by shareholders upon request.
The polls for matters to be voted on today are now open and will close immediately after I present the matters to be voted upon at this meeting. If you have not previously voted or you wish to change your vote, you should do so now online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/axon2026. Again, that's www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/axon2026. Any shareholder who has already voted and does not want to change his or her vote does not need to take any further action. The first item of business is the election of directors as nominated by the board. The nine nominees for election as directors are Michael Garnreiter, Erika Ayers Badan, Adriane Brown, Caitlin Kalinowski, Todd Morgenfeld, Hadi Partovi, Graham Smith, Rick Smith, and Jeri Williams. Each of these directors will serve a one-year term until our 2027 annual meeting or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The board recommends a vote for each of the nominees.
The second item of business is the approval of an advisory resolution to our named executive officer compensation. The board recommends a vote for this proposal. The third item of business is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Axon's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. The board recommends a vote for this proposal. At this time, the polls are now closed. The Inspector of Election will now tabulate the votes, during which time we will take any questions that have been submitted via the virtual shareholder meeting platform. These questions are to address the formal matters being voted upon today. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask general business questions during the informal portion of the meeting.
While we wait to see if any questions come in, I want to remind anyone who is listening in over the phone that you can go to investor.axon.com, scroll down to Events, and access the link to see us live on Zoom. That will also allow you to watch the Q&A with our executive team following the formal portion of today's meeting. We will now take a moment to see if any questions are submitted. Okay, there being no questions or comments, I've received a preliminary tabulation from our Inspector of Election, and based on that tabulation, I am pleased to report that each of the director nominees were elected, and each of the management proposals was approved. Congratulations to our directors. The final voting results of today's meeting will be reported on a Form 8-K filed within four business days.
That concludes the formal business. I now declare the formal portion of this meeting adjourned. If you wish to continue on to our question and answer session with the executive team, please join us via Zoom. You can find the link at investor.axon.com. Again, that's investor.axon.com. I will now turn the meeting over to Erik Lapinski, Vice President of Investor Relations.
