Good afternoon, and welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CVRx, Inc.. Most stockholders have already voted by proxy, and the proxy votes have been tallied. If you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial stockholder possessing a legal proxy from your bank or broker, and you want to vote your shares now or change your vote, you may do so during the meeting by clicking on the Vote Here button at the bottom center of the webcast screen. Stockholders may submit questions electronically during the meeting by typing the question in the box located at the bottom left of the webcast screen. Your question will not be visible to the other participants. We ask that each stockholder limit themselves to no more than two questions per person.
Some questions received during the meeting may not be answered live, but instead, the company may respond to such questions directly or through a posting on the company's investor relations website following the conclusion of this meeting and retain them for one week after posting. Questions and answers will be grouped by topic, and substantially similar questions will be grouped and answered once. I would now like to introduce Kevin Hykes, President, CEO, and Director. Please go ahead, sir.
Good afternoon, and welcome to the annual meeting of stockholders of CVRx, Inc. It is now 10 A.M. Central Time. The meeting is called to order, and the polls are open. If you've not yet voted your shares and wish to do so, please vote at this time. Also attending this meeting are all members of our board of directors and Adam Erickson of Grant Thornton LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm for the company's most recently completed fiscal year. In addition, I'd like to introduce Jared Oasheim, our Chief Financial Officer, who is serving as inspector of elections and will certify the voting. Before we answer any questions, we will conduct the formal portion of the meeting. Notice of this annual meeting of stockholders was first sent out on April 20, 2026.
The stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of April 6, 2026 are entitled to vote or sign proxies for this meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 26, 430,915 shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. On a preliminary count, there are represented at this meeting, either in person or by proxy, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, constituting a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at this meeting. Therefore, a quorum is present for the transaction of business at this meeting, and the meeting can proceed. Please note that the polls will be closed shortly.
We will now take up the business of the meeting, namely, number 1, the election of three class 2 directors, each for a three-year term. Two, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The polls are now closed, and a final report of election will be prepared. Based on the preliminary report of the inspector of election, Michael Dale, Joseph Slattery, and myself each received the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast and therefore are elected as directors of the company. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP received the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote and therefore is approved.
There being no further business before this meeting, I declare this meeting adjourned. Before we begin the question and answer portion of this meeting, I would like to remind everyone that my remarks, and those of any other officer, may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of the company's financial performance. The company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statement. Additional information concerning important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statement is contained in the company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors described in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Copies of the annual report on Form 10-K were previously made available to all stockholders of record as of April sixth, 2026. Now, we will open it up for any questions that the stockholders may have concerning CVRx business affairs. Are there any questions? There being no questions, I thank you all for joining and for your support of CVRx. Have a great day.
This concludes today's meeting. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect and have a wonderful rest of your day
