Good morning, welcome to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Funko, Inc. I will now turn the line over to Charles Denson. Mr. Denson?
Thank you and good morning. I'm Charles Denson, the Chairman of the Board of Funko, Inc. and the chair of today's meeting. I'm very happy to welcome you to our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. On behalf of Funko, the members of the board, and company management, I hope everyone is doing well. Before I call the meeting to order, I would like to introduce to you the other members of the board and the officers of the company who are with us today.
The other members of the board in attendance are Josh Simon, our Chief Executive Officer, Reed Duchscher, Trevor Edwards, Jason Harinstein, Diane Irvine, Jesse Jacobs, Michael Kerns, and Sarah Kirshbaum Levy. In addition, participating today are Andy Oddie, our Chief International Officer, Yves LePendeven, our Chief Financial Officer, Husnal Shah, our Chief Product Officer, and Tracy Daw, our Chief Legal Officer and Secretary.
I would also like to introduce Michael Ruble of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company's independent auditor, who will be available to respond to appropriate questions during the Q&A portion of today's meeting. You may enter questions for the Q&A session at any time. Please refer to the rules of conduct for more information. The meeting will now officially come to order, and I will now turn things over to Tracy Daw to proceed.

Note that only stockholders who are logged in to the meeting using their 16-digit control number will be able to vote and submit questions during today's meeting. As Funko's corporate secretary, I will file the proof of mailing of notice of the meeting with the records of the meeting. All stockholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2026, or holders of a valid proxy, are entitled to vote at the meeting.
Next, I'd like to introduce Steven Tolleson, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions. The board of directors has appointed a representative of Broadridge to act as Inspector of Election at today's meeting. Steven has signed the customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the records of the meeting. I have been informed that a quorum is present.
Therefore, I hereby declare this meeting to be duly constituted for the transaction of business. We'll now proceed with the formal business of today's meeting. There are three proposals this year to be considered by the stockholders at this meeting.
The company recommends that the stockholders vote for each of these proposals. The first item of business is the election of Diane Irvine, Jesse Jacobs, and Sarah Kirshbaum Levy to serve as Class III directors of the company for a term of office expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2029.
The second item of business is the ratification of the audit committee's appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the year ending December 31st, 2026. The third item of business is the approval on an advisory, non-binding basis of the compensation of our named executive officers.
That was the final proposal for today's meeting. If you wish to vote and you haven't already, please vote now by clicking on the Voting button on the web portal and following the instructions. You do not need to vote electronically if you have already sent in your signed proxy or if you have previously voted by telephone or internet. We'll now pause for approximately 30 seconds before closing the voting polls.
The time is now 9:05 A.M. on June 3rd, 2026, and the polls are now closed for voting. I have received the preliminary report of the Inspector of Election to be kept with the company's records of this annual meeting. Based on this preliminary report of the Inspector of Election, Diane Irvine, Jesse Jacobs, and Sarah Kirshbaum Levy have been elected as Class III directors.
The appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31st, 2026 has been ratified, and the compensation of our named executive officers has been approved on an advisory non-binding basis.
The final tally of the votes will be published within four business days in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. I'll now turn things back over to Charles.
