Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We hope you are all healthy and safe. In light of the public health concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic, we are holding our meeting this year by remote communication. You have joined the meeting via our virtual meeting platform, on which you will be able to participate in the meeting by voting and by submitting written questions. Towards the end of the meeting, questions received will be addressed by our board chair or management. Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, those present should note and understand that any statements made at this meeting, which are not historical facts and refer to the company's future prospects, are forward-looking statements.
For a discussion of these and other risk factors that could affect Hycroft's business, see risk factors in Hycroft's Form 10-K as amended, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No assurance can be given that the actual results of operations and financial condition will conform to any such forward-looking statements made today. Now I'd like to introduce our Chairman, David Kirsch.
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Hycroft's 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. My name is David Kirsch, and I am Chairman of Hycroft's Board of Directors. Before we continue with the business of our meeting today, I would like to note that all of the other members of our Board of Directors are joining us through the virtual meeting platform today. In addition, also present through the virtual meeting platform are Diane Garrett, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Stan Rideout, our Chief Financial Officer, Tracey Thom, our Vice President for Investor Relations and Corporate Communications, David Stone, our Secretary, and Kreg Brown from Plante & Moran PLLC, our independent public accountants. I will now turn the meeting over to David Stone to introduce the proposals to be brought before the meeting.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning to everyone joining us today. A meeting agenda that details the order of business for today's meeting is available online on the virtual meeting platform, together with copies of our proxy materials. There will be an opportunity for general questions and comments following the business portion of the meeting. In the meantime, questions may be submitted on the virtual platform during the meeting to Tracey Thom, our Vice President for Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. Today, present or represented by proxy are the holders of more than 52 million shares of our common stock, constituting approximately 87% of the issued and outstanding shares on the record date of April 7, 2021. We have a quorum, and we can now proceed with the meeting.
I have before me an affidavit of mailing and note that a complete certified list of all of the holders of record of the company's common stock as of April 7, 2021, which list has been available for the past 10 days and is available on the virtual meeting platform for examination by any stockholder of record desiring to do so. Bernie Lloyd of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed Inspector of Elections and has been duly sworn. I therefore formally present Hycroft's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, which contains its restated balance sheets and statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity. These materials are also available under the Meeting Documents tab on the virtual shareholder meeting platform. I now declare the polls open with respect to the two proposals in the proxy statement.
The first item is the election of eight directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The board's nominees to serve as directors of the company are listed in the proxy statement provided to all stockholders, as are biographies of each nominee. No other nominations have been submitted as provided in the bylaws. The second item is the consideration of a request to ratify the independent or the Audit Committee's appointment of Plante & Moran as independent auditors for the corporation for 2021. Any stockholder who has not yet voted or otherwise wishes to change their vote may do so by following the instructions on the virtual annual meeting platform.
If you have already voted by means of a proxy card or through the Internet and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to take any further action. We will now move to answer questions posed by stockholders to Tracey Thom via the platform. Tracey, if you've received questions, please proceed.
Thank you. We've received no questions at this time.
Thank you. There being no questions, we have concluded the business portion of the meeting, and I now declare the polls closed. I will now present the report on voting for proposals one and two based on a preliminary examination provided by our Inspector of Elections. Based upon that preliminary report for proposal number one, each of the nominees named in the proxy statement has been duly elected as a director. For proposal number two, the selection of Plante & Moran as our independent auditor for 2021 has been ratified. Final results will be reported to the SEC as required on a Form 8-K to be filed. I turn the meeting now over to our Chairman, Mr. Kirsch, for adjournment.
Ladies and gentlemen, we sincerely thank you for your investment in Hycroft and for your attendance at the meeting today. We look forward to engaging with you throughout this year and to seeing you at next year's annual meeting. We are adjourned.
