Finally, I would like to welcome Jim Young, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions and American Election Services. Jim will act as our Inspector of Election. I would now ask Tessa Judge to explain some of the procedures for today's meeting.
Thank you, David. Before we get started, I would like to cover a few administrative items. Today's meeting has been duly called and is being conducted in conformity with Delaware law and the company's charter and bylaws. The polls opened at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time this morning and will close after a brief discussion of the proposals scheduled to be voted on today, or in approximately 10 minutes.

We have three proposals to be voted on today. David will introduce each of these three proposals.
We will then pause for questions on the proposals before closing the polls, and then we'll provide the preliminary results of the voting based on a report from the Inspector of Election and adjourn the meeting.

Thank you, Tessa. I will now describe the matters to be voted on at today's meeting. After all proposals have been presented, we will answer any questions related to these proposals that our stockholders may have. The polls will close after discussion on each proposal. The first proposal is election of eight directors, Leanne Cunningham, Gregory Hewett, Aaron Lee, David Maher, Jan Singer, Steven Tishman, Gene Yoon, and Kevin Yoon, to serve until their term ends at our next stockholders meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The board recommends that stockholders vote in favor of each of the director nominees. The second proposal is a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal.
The third proposal is the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. This concludes our presentation of the proposals at this meeting. Does any stockholder have a question related to any of the proposals?
At this time, no questions have been submitted by stockholders, We may proceed with the voting.
Thank you, Cameron. If there is no further discussion, I ask that those who wish to vote at today's meeting complete your ballot for each of the proposals on the virtual meeting page. Please note that if you have already voted by proxy, you do not need to vote again. Now that time has been given to vote, I hereby declare the polls closed for voting.
At this time, I will ask our corporate secretary to report the preliminary results of the voting.
