All stockholders of record at the close of business on April 22nd, 2026, or holders of a valid proxy, are entitled to vote at this meeting. I have been informed that a quorum is present, this meeting is therefore duly constituted for the transaction of business. There are two proposals to be considered by our stockholders today. The board of directors recommends that the stockholders vote for both proposals.
The first item of business is the election of Sarah Krevans and Steve Mizell to serve as Class II 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 Ernst & Young as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the year ending December 31st, 2026.

The time is now 1:05 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time. The polls are closed for voting. I will now turn the line back to Greg Summe, the Chairman of the board.
Thanks, Abram. Based on the preliminary voting report of the Inspector of Elections, Sarah Krevans and Steve Mizell have been elected as Class II directors.
