Welcome to Ispire Technology's annual meeting of stockholders. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would like to now turn the meeting over to Michael Wang, Co-Chief Executive Officer.
Thank you, operator, and thank you to all our shareholders and guests for joining us today. Joining me today is our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Steven Przybyla, who will act as the secretary of the meeting and record the proceedings. We are also joined telephonically by the members of our board of directors, Tuanfang Liu, Jiangyan Zhu, Christopher Robert Burch, Brent Cox, and John Fargis, as well as Jay Yu, our Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, we are pleased to have Joy Pan with us as a representative from our independent registered accounting firm, Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, and representatives of the law firm of Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP, our outside legal counsel. Before we begin, I will now turn things over to Steven Przybyla. Steven?

Please note that any non-historical statements that I or other representatives of our company may make today will constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned that actual results could differ materially and adversely from these statements as a result of significant risks and uncertainties, including the risks that the company is citing its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that we typically cite in our press releases. Moreover, the company expressly disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements made, except as required by law. Also, I would like to remind everyone that this meeting is not a public forum for the purposes of the SEC's Regulation FD.
As a result, while we'd be happy to provide you with general background information about the company, we will not be able to provide you with material non-public information at this meeting. That said, we have two items of business to conduct at today's meeting. They are the election of director nominees to serve as directors until the annual meeting of stockholders in the year 2027, and the ratification of the appointment of Marcum Asia LLP to serve as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
The board of directors has appointed Christal Pawley of American Election Services, LLC to serve as the inspector of elections for this meeting with authority, among other things, to receive and determine the validity of all proxies and ballots submitted, and to certify the number of shares represented at this meeting and the results of the vote of the company stockholders on any motion. She is present at today's meeting. As required by law, Ms. Pawley has taken and signed an oath as the inspector of elections.
A certified list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at today's meeting for the purposes of sending the notice of meeting and proxy statement is available online. I have been provided with an affidavit from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., attesting to the delivery of the notice of meeting, the definitive proxy statement, and associated proxy materials, which were mailed on May 12th, 2026, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 24th, 2026, which is the record date of this meeting. This affidavit of mailing and list of stockholders as of the record date is available if any stockholder wishes to examine it and will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. All stockholders of record on April 24th, 2026, are eligible to vote either by proxy or in person at this meeting.
If you have already submitted a proxy to the company and do not wish to change your vote, you do not have to vote again. At this point, I will call the formal portion of our meeting to order. The inspector of elections has submitted a report of the number of shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at this meeting. The board of directors selected April 24th, 2026, as the record date for this annual meeting. On the record date, there were 57,399,396 shares of common stock outstanding. A majority of shares of capital stock of the company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting are present in person or by proxy, as required by the company's bylaws. Accordingly, a quorum is present. A quorum is present, we will now proceed to voting.
The company has not received any third-party proposals to be considered at this meeting. Please remember that if you have already submitted a proxy to vote your shares, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions, and it is not necessary to vote at the meeting. If you choose to vote at the meeting, doing so will revoke any proxy that you have previously granted. After voting has been completed on all matters, we will close the polls and the Inspector of Elections will provide her preliminary report. As mentioned, the first order of business is the election of director nominees named in the 2026 proxy statement to serve for a one-year period until the annual meeting of stockholders in the year 2027. The nominees are Tuanfang Liu, Jiangyan Zhu, Brent Cox, John Fargis, and Christopher Robert Burch.
The second item of business for stockholder consideration at this meeting is the ratification of the appointment of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP to serve as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. All proposals to be voted on by stockholders have been presented, I declare the polls open for voting on these two proposals. You must submit your electronic ballot in order for your votes to be counted. The Inspector of Elections will not accept votes submitted after the closing of the polls. Please note that any votes by electronic ballots submitted today will be subject to final verification by the Inspector of Elections. I will pause now for final voting. There being no further ballots, I hereby declare the polls are now closed at this time for voting on the items of business.
All electronic ballots and proxies are now in the custody of the Inspector of Elections. We have received a preliminary tabulation of votes by our Inspector of Elections. All votes are subject to final count and certification by the inspector. Based on the vote, I declare that each of the proposals has been approved and all director nominees have been elected to the board. The certification of the Inspector of Elections with final tabulation will be filed with the minutes of this meeting, and the final results of the proposals voted on will be disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K announcing the results of this annual meeting to be filed with the SEC within four business days of today's meeting. I declare the formal business of today's meeting concluded. I will now turn the floor over to Michael Wang for concluding remarks. Michael?
That said, there is no further business to come before this meeting, I would now like to conclude the formal business part of the meeting. I want to thank everyone for participating in today's meeting. We look forward to updating you on our progress on our fourth quarter earnings call.
