Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Highcraft Mining Holding Corporation 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We hope you're 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 or 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 Hycrest's business, see Risk Factors in Hycrest's Form 10 ks 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. And now I'd like to introduce our Chairman, David Kirsch.
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Highcroft's 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. My name is David Kirsch, and I am Chairman of High Cross'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 Tracy Thomm, our Vice President for Investor Relations and Corporate Communications David Stone, our Secretary and Craig Brown from Plan and 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, and 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 Tracy Thomm, our Vice President for Investor Relations and Corporate Communications.
Today, press rents are represented by proxy of the holders of more than 52,000,000 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 and Trust Company has been appointed Inspector of Elections and has been duly sworn. I therefore formally present Highcroft's Annual Report on Form 10 ks for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, which contains its restated balance sheet 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 2 proposals in the proxy statement. The first item is the election of 8 directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Board's nominees to service directors of the company are listed in the proxy statement provided to all stockholders as our 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 Plant 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 Tom 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've concluded the business portion of the meeting and I now declare the polls closed. I will now present the report on voting for proposals 12 based on a preliminary examination provided by our Inspector of Elections. Based upon that preliminary report or proposal number 1, each of the nominees named in the proxy statement has been duly elected as a director. For proposal number 2, the selection of Plant Moran as our independent auditor for 2021 has been ratified.
Final results will be reported to the SEC as required on a Form 8 ks 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 Highcroft 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.
