Good morning, and welcome to everyone participating with us today.

Questions pertinent to the meeting matters will be answered following the formal portion of this meeting subject to time constraints. As indicated on the notice of meeting and accompanying documents that were mailed to all shareholders of record as of the record date, the following matters have been proposed by the Board for approval or ratification by the shareholders.
Number 1, to elect 1 Class III Director to serve a 3 year term. And number 2, to ratify the appointment of Markham LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We will consider each item in turn in the same order as they appear on the notice of meeting. The polls will open when the first matter is called to vote and will remain open until I announce that the polls are closed. You may vote your shares during the meeting online through the virtual meeting platform.
You will need your 16 digit control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form. If you voted previously, that will not limit your right to vote online during the meeting through our virtual platform meeting platform and your online vote will supersede any previous vote submission. No online votes, ballots or proxies or revocations of or changes to online votes, ballots or proxies will be accepted after the polls are closed. I will announce the voting results on each matter following the tabulation. I have received the affidavit from Broadridge Financial Solutions, the company's agent for distribution certifying that the notice of the annual meeting and the proxy statements were sent to all shareholders of record as of April 5, 2021.
This affidavit is available for inspection by any shareholder. In addition, we were informed by the Inspector of Elections that present at this meeting in person or through representation by proxy 18,322,600 and 77.3 percent of outstanding shares of common stock of the company as of 8 am this morning. Based on this number of shares reported at the present meeting, I'm happy to report that there is a quorum exists. I will review the proposals now. Proposal number 1 is the election of directors.
The first matter to be voted on is the election of 1 Class 3 directors for a 3 year term. The nominee for election is Lisa Gersh. Proposal number 2, the second matter to be voted on is the ratification of the appointment of Markham LLP as the company's independent public accounting firm for our 2021 fiscal year. This concludes the business items on the agenda for the annual meeting. The polls are now closed.
I have been informed by the Inspector of Elections that preliminary vote report shows that the majority of the votes cast in this meeting have been voted for in favor of the Director nominated to serve as a Class 3 Director of the company and that proposal number 2 received the requisite vote in favor and was therefore approved by the shareholders. We will be reporting our final vote results in a Form 8 ks that will be filed with the SEC within 4 business days. This concludes the formal business of today's meeting and the formal part of the meeting is now adjourned. In closing, I'd like to again thank all shareholders in attendance for your participation this morning in our virtual annual meeting and for your interest in Establishment Labs. I will now take questions from the shareholders related to the annual meeting matters.
There being no questions, I'd like to thank all of our shareholders for participating in the annual meeting and for your engagement and interest in Establishment Labs.
