One.
Good morning. My name is Luis Peña, and I am the President and Chief Executive Officer of Evommune. I am very happy to welcome you to the Evommune 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting. The meeting will now officially come to order. The time is now 11:30 A.M. Eastern Time on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, and the polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented. As you know, we are hosting today's meeting through a virtual online platform hosted by Broadridge. This meeting is being recorded and will be available via webcast on our corporate website for the next 30 days after the date of the annual meeting at www.evommune.com. Before we proceed with the formal business of the meeting, I'd like to introduce to you the members of the Board and the business team who are with us today.
The board members are Ben McGraw, Chairman of the Board, Eugene Bauer, Director and Chief Medical Officer, Arthur Kirsch, Director, and David Cohen, Director. The officers of the company with us virtually today are Greg Moss, Chief Business and Legal Officer, and Kyle Carver, Chief Financial Officer. I'd like to welcome all other Evommune team members who might be listening in, and I would also like to introduce JT Scheriff of BDO USA, P.C., the company's independent registered public accounting firm, and Eric Blanchard and Denny Zhu of Cooley LLP, who are also in attendance virtually and available to respond to appropriate questions as needed. We will proceed with the formal business of the meeting in the order set forth in the notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. We will first present the two proposals submitted for approval by our board.
We will then take questions related to the proposals or any questions for the auditors after all the proposals have been presented, after which we will announce the preliminary results of the voting. As I mentioned earlier, the polls are open for voting on all matters to be presented. After I describe each item to be voted on, we will close the polls. We will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes after closing of the polls. If you have already submitted your vote by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote now, and your shares will be voted as previously instructed. If you intend to vote and have not already done so, you must submit your vote online now in order for it to be counted. If you have not voted, I encourage you to vote online now.
The rules of conduct for this meeting are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/evmm2026. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that you follow these rules. Stockholders who are attending this meeting that have a valid 16-digit control number may submit questions or comments for the Q&A portion of this meeting through the text box located on the virtual meeting screen. We will try to answer questions submitted that are relevant to the proposals and/or this meeting as and if we have time. Kyle Carver, our CFO, will screen any incoming questions, and during the Q&A portion of the meeting, we'll read relevant questions out loud before I respond. Please submit your questions now to make sure they are received in a timely fashion for our review and response.
Please note that our discussion today may include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. Additional information concerning factors that could cause such a difference can be found in our most recent filed annual report on Form 10-K. Greg Moss will act as Secretary of this meeting. Will the Secretary please report at this time with respect to the mailing of the notice of the meeting?
Thanks, Luis. I have an affidavit certifying that notice of this annual meeting of stockholders of the company was duly given to all stockholders of record at the close of business on April 6th, 2026. A copy of the notice and affidavit will be filed with the records of this meeting.
Thank you, Greg. At this time, I'd like to introduce John Merva of American Election Services, who is present virtually. John has been appointed to act as an Inspector of Election at this meeting and has taken and subscribed the customary oath of office to execute their duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. Will the Secretary please report at this time with respect to the existence of a quorum?
I have been informed by the Inspector of Elections that proxies have been received for more than 24 million of the approximately 36 million shares of common stock outstanding on the record date, which represents more than 68% of the total number of shares outstanding. This constitutes a quorum for the meeting today, and we may now carry out the official business of the meeting.
We will now proceed with the formal business of this meeting. After all of the proposals have been described, we will answer any questions related to the proposals submitted online. As a reminder, we ask that any comments or questions pertain only to these proposals. Please submit any questions as soon as possible for our review. There are two proposals to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting. The first item of business is the election of two Class 1 directors to serve until 2029 annual meeting and until their successors are elected. The nominees for Class 1 director are Luis Peña and Eugene Bauer. The second item of business today is the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the board of directors of BDO USA, P.C. as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
That was the first proposal for today's meetings. We will now review if there are any questions submitted. Excuse me, that was the final proposal for today's meetings. We will now review if there are any questions submitted about the proposals or addressed to the auditors before we close the polls. As a reminder, we will only review and answer questions that pertain to the proposals. Kyle, are there any questions?
There have been no questions submitted, Luis.
Thank you, Kyle. There are no questions. The time is now 11:37 A.M., and the polls are now closed for voting. May we have the results of the voting?
The report of the Inspector of Elections covering the proposals presented at this meeting is as follows. One, Luis Peña and Eugene Bauer have been elected as Class 1 directors of the company. Two, the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 is ratified. We expect to report our preliminary voting results, or if available to us on a timely basis, our final voting results on a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of this meeting. If not earlier reported, we expect to report our final voting results in an amendment to a Form 8-K within four business days after the final results are known to us.
Thank you, Greg. This concludes the formal portion of today's meeting. Thank you for your attendance at today's meeting and for your continued support of Evommune. That is all the time we have today. Thank you again for your attendance at today's meeting and for your continued support.
This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for attending and have a pleasant day.
