An aggregate of 58,937,041 votes may be cast by stockholders at this annual meeting. I show that there are present, in-person or by proxy, stockholders representing a majority of the total number of votes which may be cast. I have the official stockholder list p repared as of the record date, showing the name, address, and number of shares held by each stockholder of record entitled to vote at this annual meeting. That list is available for inspection by stockholders.

These nominees are Matt Farrell, Kenny Mitchell, Gayle Tait, and Maureen Watson. The second proposal is the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers. The third proposal is approval on an advisory basis of the frequency of the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers.

Stockholders who voted by proxy do not need to vote again unless they wish to change their vote.

We have no other business to conduct at this annual meeting. The annual meeting is now adjourned. We'll now turn to the Q&A session. In order to assess whether it's necessary to review the rules for this section, I'll ask Hillary Lyon, our VP Assistant General Counsel, if there are any questions.
Thanks, Tarang. It appears that no questions have been submitted during the meeting.
