Morning, and welcome to the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders for Shift4 Payments. I will now turn the line over to Jared Isaacman. Mr. Isaacman.
Thank you, and good afternoon. I'm Jared Isaacman, the Executive Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors of Shift4 Payments, and the Chairman of today's meeting. I'm very happy to welcome you to our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. Before I call the meeting to order, I'd like to introduce you to 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 Taylor Lauber, our Chief Executive Officer; Donald Isaacman; Christopher Cruz; Karen Roter Davis;
I would also like to introduce Stefanie Merella of PwC, the company's independent registered accountant, who will be available to respond to appropriate questions during the Q&A portion of the meeting. With that, the meeting will now come officially to order. We will proceed with the formal business as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement.

At this time, I'd like to introduce Tony Carideo , a representative of Broadridge Financial Services. The Board of Directors has appointed him to act as Inspector of Election at today's meeting. Mr. Cardeo 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've been informed that a quorum is present. Therefore, I hereby declare this meeting to be duly constituted for the transaction of business. Now, there are three proposals to be considered by the stockholders today. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote for each of these proposals. Item 1, election of directors.
The first item of business is the election of Christopher Cruz, Seth Dallaire , and Sarah Grover to serve as Class 2 directors of the company for a term of office expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028. Item 2, ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm. Again, the second item of business, ratification of the audit committee's appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Item 3, approval on an advisory, non-binding basis, of compensation of our named executive officers. The third item of business is the approval, again, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of named executive officers. That was the final proposal for today's meeting.
