Hello, and welcome to the 2026 annual meeting for Invivyd, Inc. Our host for today is Marc Elia, Chairman of the Board of Directors. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Marc Elia. You may begin.
Good morning, and welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Invivyd, Inc. We're pleased to be hosting a virtual meeting this year live via webcast, which allows us to reach a greater number of our stockholders. I, Marc Elia, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Invivyd, am calling the meeting to order and will preside as Chairman of this meeting. Before we get to the formal business of the meeting, I'd like to make some introductions. Additional Directors of the company present at the meeting today are Tamsin Berry, Terrance McGuire, and Kevin F. McLaughlin. Also present from the company is Jill Andersen, the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, who will record the minutes of this meeting. Finally, I'd like to introduce a few other attendees. Marc DeCoste is a representative from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.
Mr. DeCoste will be available during the question and answer session after the meeting to respond to appropriate questions. Jenna Bentley is appointed to act as the inspector of election. Ms. Bentley's oath of office will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. Stephen Nicolai from the law firm Hogan Lovells is outside corporate counsel to the company. We're pleased to be hosting a virtual annual meeting this year. Stockholders attending via the web portal may access a copy of the agenda and the rules of conduct and procedures for today's meeting. Additionally, stockholders may submit pertinent questions via the web portal and in accordance with the rules of conduct and procedures. We ask that your questions today are focused on the business of this annual meeting and the business of the company.
Out of consideration for others, we ask that each stockholder stay within a limit of two questions. Questions regarding the proposal being voted on at today's meeting will be answered prior to the closing of the polls. Following adjournment of the formal business of today's meeting, we will address appropriate general questions from stockholders regarding the company. Although we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to provide a response to as many as possible. However, we reserve the right to exclude questions regarding topics that are not pertinent to meeting matters or company business or are inappropriate. If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.
Please note the various remarks that we may make about future expectations, plans, and prospects for the company constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC and available on the company's website. Any forward-looking statement represent the company's expectation only as of today. While the company may elect to update these forward-looking statements, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Any forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's estimates or views as of any date subsequent to today. This meeting is being recorded.
However, no one attending via the webcast or telephone is permitted to use any recording device. I have received an affidavit from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., certifying that the notice of Internet availability of proxy materials was sent to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 20th, 2026. I will see that the affidavit is filed with the minutes of this meeting. Our first order of business at this meeting is to determine whether the shares represented at this meeting, either by remote communication or by proxy, are sufficient to constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business. Per the company's bylaws, a quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are present by remote communication or represented by proxy at the meeting.
The inspector of election has reported that there are present at this meeting, either by remote communication or represented by proxy, stockholders representing at least a majority of all shares entitled to vote at this annual meeting. A quorum is therefore present. This annual meeting is properly and legally convened for the purposes of transacting business before it. It is now 8:34 A.M. Eastern Time. I hereby declare the polls open for each matter to be voted upon today. I ask that the secretary note the time of the opening of the polls in the minutes of the meeting. Any stockholder who has not yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there.
Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted their shares prior to the start of this annual meeting and do not want to change their vote do not need to take any further action. Please note that voting during this meeting will revoke any previously submitted proxy or voting instructions. As a reminder, attending this meeting will not by itself cause your previously submitted proxy or voting instructions to be revoked. Turning now to the items to be voted on at this meeting. As indicated in the notice of meeting and accompanying documents, there are two specific proposals. The first matter to be voted on is the election of six nominees for director, each to serve a one-year term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The nominees for election are Tamsin Berry, Paul B. Bolno, MD, Marc Elia, Terrance McGuire, Kevin F. McLaughlin, and Ajay Royan.
The board recommends that stockholders vote for all the election of the named director nominees. We will dispense with formal motions regarding nominees for election to the board of directors. The nominees are duly nominated and presented. The second matter to be voted on is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. The board recommends that stockholders vote for the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP. We will dispense with formal motions regarding this proposal. This proposal is duly introduced and presented. As no other proposals were submitted in the manner prescribed for in the company's bylaws and applicable law, there are no other proposals to be voted on at this meeting.
If any stockholder would like to ask a question regarding any of the proposals, please submit your question through the web portal. Seeing no questions about the proposal, we will now proceed with final voting and closing of the polls. The polls will remain open for another 30 seconds in case anyone would like to vote at this time. Please vote on the web portal now if you have not already done so.

I ask that the secretary note the time of the closing of the polls in the minutes of the meeting. The inspector of election has provided us with preliminary results. Based on the preliminary results, each of the six nominees for director has been elected, and the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026, has been ratified. These results remain subject to the final certification of the vote sent by the inspector of election. The final vote results will be included in a Form 8-K that will be filed by the company with the SEC within four business days after this meeting. As there is no further business to come before the meeting, I declare the formal part of this annual meeting adjourned.
I ask that the secretary note the time of adjournment of the meeting in the minutes. Before moving on, I want to express thanks on behalf of the company for your attendance and participation today. We will now allow a brief period of time to answer general questions from stockholders regarding the company, which may be submitted via the web portal.

Please limit questions to issues relevant to all stockholders and observe the meeting's rules of conduct and procedures. Seeing no questions, this meeting is now concluded. Thank you.
