It is now my pleasure to turn today's meeting over to Tiger Tyagarajan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genpact. Sir, the floor is yours.
Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Genpact's 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. My name is Tiger Tyagarajan, and I am Genpact's President and CEO. It is now 12:05 P.M. Eastern Time, and I would like to call our 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to order. I would like to thank all of our shareholders and everyone else in attendance at today's virtual meeting for attending it. This year's annual meeting is a unique one for Genpact, as it is the first time we are holding our annual shareholders meeting virtually, which we are doing because of the COVID-19 crisis. All of Genpact's director nominees, in addition to our Board Chairman, Bob Scott, who is not standing for re-election today, are in attendance virtually at today's meeting.
Before we get to the formal business of the meeting, I would like to thank Bob for his outstanding guidance, wisdom, and support over the past nine years as the chairman of our board, and his nearly 15 years of dedicated service to Genpact as a director. Thank you, Bob. I would also like to introduce Ed Fitzpatrick, Genpact's Chief Financial Officer, and Heather White, Genpact's Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary. Ms. White will be serving as the Inspector of Elections for today's meeting. Many other members of our senior management team have also joined the meeting. At this time, I'd like to turn the meeting over to Ms. White to conduct our formal business.
Thank you, Tiger. Our notice of annual meeting and proxy statement was mailed out or otherwise made available on April 9th to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 27th, 2020. A quorum is present at the meeting, so I hereby declare the meeting open. Matters to be acted upon will proceed in order. The rules of conduct for the meeting have been posted on our virtual meeting website. We will address questions today that are in accordance with the rules of conduct. For the first item of business, election of directors, the board recommends that our shareholders vote for the re-election of the nine director nominees named in our proxy statement. There have been no other timely nominations, and I hereby close the nominations.
For the second item of business, the board recommends that our shareholders vote for the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of Genpact's named executive officers. For the third item of business, the board recommends that our shareholders vote for the approval of the appointment of KPMG to serve as Genpact's independent registered public accounting firm for 2020. Ed or Roger, do we have any questions?
We have no questions at this time.
Thank you. There being no questions to be addressed at this meeting, I hereby declare the polls closed and further declare that all matters of business on today's agenda have been approved. With that, let me turn the meeting back over to our CEO to close the meeting.
Thank you, Heather. I'm extremely proud of the passion and dedication of the Genpact team around the globe who have worked tirelessly to support our clients, deliver phenomenal service, and help communities and each other in these unprecedented times. I would also like to thank our board of directors for their support, commitment, and invaluable guidance, particularly over the last few months. I declare this Annual General Meeting of Shareholders adjourned at 12:09 P.M. Thank you for joining.
This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
