Good morning, and welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Terence McGuirk, Chairman, President, and CEO of Atlanta Braves Holdings.
Good morning, and welcome to the 2026 Atlanta Braves Holdings annual meeting of stockholders. Thank you all for taking the time to join us today and for your continued support of our company. Before we start the meeting, I'd like to make a few introductions. First, it's my pleasure to introduce my fellow board of directors who are all in attendance virtually today. They are Brian Deevy, Wonya Y. Lucas, and Diana M. Murphy. Next, I would like to introduce Greg Heller, our Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, and Corporate Secretary. Finally, I'd like to recognize Brett Bernstein of KPMG, the company's independent auditor, who is also in attendance virtually today. We will begin today with the formal business portion of the meeting.
This consists of the election of the director nominee named in our 2026 proxy statement and ratification of KPMG as the company's independent auditor for the 2026 fiscal year. After that, we will respond to any questions that have been properly submitted by stockholders. I now call to order the 2026 annual meeting. Greg Heller is serving as secretary of the meeting, and a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions is serving as Inspector of Elections. Notice of this meeting was given to stockholders in accordance with Nevada law and the company's bylaws, and an affidavit of mailing is on file with the secretary. As of March 27, 2026, the record date for the annual meeting, there were approximately 10,318,187 shares of the company's Series A common stock and 977,751 shares of the company's Series B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Over 92% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is present or represented by proxy at this meeting. Therefore, I have determined that a quorum is present. If you have not previously submitted your vote and would like to vote during the meeting, you may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions provided. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again unless you wish to change your vote. The first item of business is the election of the director nominee, which is item 1 on your ballot. The Board has nominated our current director, Wonya Y. Lucas, to serve for an additional three year term through the 2029 annual meeting. Your Board recommends that you vote for Ms. Lucas. We'll now move on to the next proposal.
The next item is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year, which is item two on your ballot. Your board recommends that you vote for this proposal. We'll now move on to preliminary voting results. If you have not yet voted and wish to do so, please submit your vote now. Greg, please review the preliminary voting results.
Thank you, Terry. The preliminary voting results for the company proposals are as follows. Approximately 93% of the votes cast have been voted in favor of Ms. Lucas' election to continue to serve as a director. More than 99% of the votes cast have been voted in favor of the ratification of the appointment of KPMG. Based on the preliminary vote count, proposal number 1 has received the votes required for the election of the director nominee, and proposal number two has received the affirmative vote required for stockholder approval. Please note that all votes submitted through the web portal will be verified and tabulated by our Inspector of Elections, and the final results will be certified and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. We expect to report the final voting results in a Form 8-K that will be filed within four business days after the meeting.
This concludes the formal business portion of the meeting. There are no questions from stockholders related to the proposals. Therefore, I declare the meeting adjourned. Thank you for your attendance and continued support of Atlanta Braves Holdings.
This concludes today's meeting. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect and have a wonderful rest of your day.
