Good morning and welcome to the Vita Coco Company 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I will now turn the line over to Mike Kirban.
Thank you and good morning. I'm Mike Kirban, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of The Vita Coco Company and the Chairman of today's meeting. I'm very happy to welcome you to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast. With me today, we have the members of the company's board of directors and leadership team, as well as other key company employees and representatives. We also have representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the company's independent auditor, who will be available during the question and answer portion of the meeting. The meeting will now officially come to order. We will proceed with the formal business as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. I will now turn it over to the company's General Counsel and Secretary, Alison Klein.
Thank you, Mike. The polls opened today, June 3, 2025, at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time for voting on all matters before the meeting.

The Board of Directors has appointed a representative of Broadridge to act as inspector of election at today's meeting. At this time, I would like to introduce Francis Byrd as the Inspector of Election. Mr. Byrd has signed the customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. I have been informed that a quorum is present.
Therefore, I hereby declare this meeting to be duly constituted for the transaction of business. We will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. There are three proposals to be considered by the stockholders at the meeting. The board of directors recommends that the stockholders vote for proposals one, two, and three. The first item of business is the election of Aishetu Fatima Dozie , Martin Roper, and John Zupo to serve as Class I Directors of the company for a term of office expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2028. The second item of business is the ratification of the audit committee's appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the year ending December 31, 2025. We have representatives from Deloitte on the line available for the Q&A session.
The third item of business is an advisory vote on Executive Compensation. That is the final proposal for today's meeting. If you wish to vote and you haven't already, please vote now by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions. You do not need to vote electronically if you have already sent in your signed proxy or if you have voted by telephone or internet. We will pause now before closing the voting polls. At this time, the polls are now closed for voting. We have received the preliminary report of the inspector of election to be kept with the company's records of the annual meeting. I will turn it over to Mr. Byrd to review the preliminary report.
Based on the preliminary report of the inspector of election, Aishetu Fatima Dozie , Martin Roper, and John Zupo have been elected as Directors. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, has been ratified.

Thank you, Mr. Byrd. The final tally of the votes will be published within four business days in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This meeting is now adjourned. At this time, we will turn to questions and answers. We have allotted up to 15 minutes for this portion of the meeting. I'd like to note that management's responses to questions may include forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the risk factors sections of the company's Form 10-K, 10-Qs, and other reports on file with the SEC.
