Good morning. Thank you all for attending the meeting today.
Okay, good morning, and welcome to CI&T Inc's annual general meeting. The meeting will now come to order. I am Fernando Martins, the chairman of the board of directors of the company. I thank you all for joining us today. As the chairman of the board of directors of the company, I will act as the chairman of the meeting, and I will have Eduardo Galvão act as secretary of the meeting. Shareholders should not address the meeting until recognized. Should you desire to ask a question or speak during the meeting, please use the Raise Your Hand button. After being recognized, please identify yourself and your status as a shareholder or representative of a shareholder, then state your point or ask your question. We ask you that restrict your remarks to the item that is before us. Thank you for your cooperation with these rules.
And now, I ask the secretary to give an update on the qualification of this meeting to proceed.
This meeting is held pursuant to a written notice sent to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 28, 2024. The notice included a proxy form and a 2023 annual report on Form 20-F, which covers this fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023. These documents were made available on the company's website and will be filed with the records of this meeting.
Secretary, do we have a quorum?
Yes. As set out in the articles of association of the company, one or more shareholders holding not less than one-third in aggregate of the voting power of all shares in issue and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, or if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, constitutes a quorum of the shareholders, and all legal requirements for holding this meeting have been satisfied.
Okay, once we have a quorum, the meeting is lawfully convened and ready to transact business. You have received a copy of the meeting notice, which is also the agenda of this meeting, which includes the matters to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders. At this time, the polls are now open, and we ask any shareholder who has not yet turned in a proxy and wish to do so at this time, to use the Raise Your Hand button. Shareholders who have sent in proxies do not need to take any further action at this time. We will now proceed to the matters to be voted on. The only item of business is a proposal, as an ordinary resolution, to approve and ratify the company's financial statements and the auditor's report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Is there any discussion concerning the first proposal? Okay, so no discussion. I hereby declare the polls closed. The secretary will now tabulate the votes and report the preliminary results before the close of the meeting. And while the secretary tabulates the votes, we'll have a time for questions. So now the floor is open for questions and answers. If you would like to address the meeting, please stand or use the Raise Your Hand button, identify yourself, and tell us whether you are a shareholder or appearing by proxy, and the number of shares of the company you represent. Are there any questions or other matters that any of the shareholders would like to present? No question. Okay.
So if there are no other questions or comments, I have been advised by the secretary that the tallies are now available, and I will ask the secretary to read them.
On the proposal to resolve as an ordinary resolution that the company's financial statements and the auditor's report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, be approved and ratified. The proposal has received a majority of the votes cast from the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on the approval of the company's financial statements and the auditor's report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. So just to give you the votes, we have 98.4% of approval for this matter. Mr.
Chairman, the final results of the shareholder vote, reflecting all proxies received by mail through the close of the meeting and any votes cast in person during this meeting with respect to the proposal, will be included in the minutes of the meeting and will be published in a Form 6-K after the final results are known and will be available upon request.
Thank you, secretary. This meeting is now concluded. I want to thank you for attending today's meeting and for the support you have shown for CI&T Inc.
Thank you all. Thanks for attending.
Thank you.
