Day, Welcome to Coeur Mining's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Mitchell J. Krebs, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Coeur Mining. Mr. Krebs, please proceed.
Thank you, and hello, everyone. On behalf of the officers and Directors of the company, I want to welcome you all to Coeur's Annual Stockholders Meeting. Please be sure to reference the meeting agenda and the rules of conduct that have been posted on the virtual meeting website for relevant information. By hosting this meeting virtually, all stockholders are able to attend the meeting and vote as they would at an in-person meeting. Voting is now open, and any stockholder who has not already submitted a proxy and wishes to vote their shares may do so by clicking on the Voting button on their screen. It is not necessary to vote through the virtual meeting platform if you have already submitted your proxy to the company.
Stockholders may submit questions in the virtual meeting platform, and relevant questions will be addressed at the end of the meeting as time allows. I encourage holders to consult the rules of conduct before submitting any questions. With that, let's get started. Joining me today is Casey Nault, Coeur's Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary. Casey Nault and Louis Larsen, who is with Broadridge Financial Solutions, are appointed to act as Inspectors of Election for this meeting.
Also in attendance today are my fellow director nominees, Linda Adamany, Pierre Beaudoin, Paramita Das, Patrick Godin, Jeane Hull, Eduardo Luna, Marilyn Schonberner, and Ken Thompson. Rob Mellor is not standing for re-election, and I would like to take a moment to thank him for his extensive and invaluable service to the Board and the company over the past 28 years, including in his role as Chairman of the Board previously.
Harris Sessions of our independent auditor, Grant Thornton, is also in attendance today. The meeting is now called to order and officially open. Adequate notice of this meeting was given to the stockholders of the company, as evidenced by the affidavit prepared by Broadridge. I will order the certificate and any related documents prepared by Broadridge to be filed with the permanent records of the company. The company has received proxies representing approximately 78% of the total shares of the company issued and outstanding as of the record date. A quorum is present at the meeting. We have four proposals to come before the stockholders for approval today. If you have not already voted online, please do so at this time. I will close the polls following the presentation of proposals. The first proposal being considered today is election of the nine director nominees named in our proxy statement.
Our Board of Directors recommends the stockholders vote for each Director nominee. The second proposal being considered today is ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Our Board of Directors recommends the stockholders vote for this proposal. The third proposal being considered today is approval of an amendment to the company's certificate of incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers as permitted by law. Our Board of Directors recommends the stockholders vote for this proposal. The fourth proposal being considered today is approval of an advisory resolution on named executive officer compensation. Our Board of Directors recommends the stockholders vote for this proposal. There being no further items of business to be presented for stockholders' vote, the polls are hereby closed, and I will report the preliminary results of the voting.
I am pleased to report that by an initial review of all shares voted, all Director nominees have been elected, and all other proposals have been approved. At the adjournment of this meeting, the inspector will count and review the final votes received and promptly issue an inspector's report. The company will release the final vote results to the public no later than May 18th, 2026. This concludes the formal portion of our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I now declare the meeting adjourned. Thank you for joining us today and for voting.
Thank you for joining today's call. This conference is now concluded.
