Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Compass's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. I would like to introduce you to Mr. Robert Reffkin, CEO and Board Chair of Compass. Mr. Reffkin, you may begin.
Good afternoon and welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. I am Robert Reffkin, Compass CEO and Board Chair. Other members of Compass's senior leadership team participating in today's meeting are Scott Wahlers, Chief Financial Officer, Ethan Glass, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, and Soham Bhonsle, Head of Investor Relations. A representative of PwC, our independent auditor, and our directors are also present today. I would now like to call the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders to order. I'll be serving as the Chair of the meeting, and Ethan Glass will serve as Secretary. I will now turn the meeting over to Ethan to begin the formal matters.
Thank you, Robert. We are pleased to note that our annual stockholders meeting is being conducted virtually through a live audio webcast. Our virtual meeting format enables a broad group of stockholders to attend our annual meeting at no cost and reduces our environmental impact. We are conducting this meeting in accordance with our bylaws and the rules of conduct and procedures for this meeting, which are available on the meeting website. As a reminder, stockholders attending the virtual meeting can vote their shares online by following the instructions in the online portal. If you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed and no further action is required. We will begin by attending to the formal business of the meeting.
Please note that the meeting is being recorded and will be available for replay on the meeting website for 90 days. This meeting is held pursuant to the notice of annual meeting that we began mailing on April 3rd, 2026 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 17th, 2026. We have received an affidavit of mailing from Broadridge indicating that notice of the meeting has been duly given. A copy of our proxy statement is available on Compass' investor relations website and the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. The Inspector of Elections has confirmed that the proxies have been received from approximately 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders of the company's outstanding common stock entitled to vote.
I declare that there is a quorum present and that we may proceed with the business of the meeting. The polls are open for voting. We will close the polls after the proposals have been presented. There are three items of business to be voted on at this meeting. The first item of business is the election of the Class two director nominees to the board of directors, each to hold office until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Class two nominees for election to the board of directors are Allan Leinwand, Charles Phillips, and Pamela Thomas-Graham. The second item of business is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.
The third item of business is an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. That concludes the presentation of the items of business that you've been asked to vote on at today's meeting. The polls are now closed, and no additional votes may be submitted. I have received the preliminary voting results from the Inspector of Elections based on the proxies received as of the opening of the polls at today's meeting. The preliminary voting results are as follows. One , each of the class two director nominees has been duly elected. Two , the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 has been ratified. Three, the compensation of our named executive officers has been approved by advisory vote.
All votes are subject to final count certified by the Inspector of Elections, who will report the final vote results on a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days from today's meeting. There being no further business to come before the meeting, the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Compass, Inc. is now adjourned. Thank you to everyone who participated in today's meeting.
