Thank you. Good morning and welcome again to the annual meeting of shareholders of Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. It is now 9:30 A.M. Central Time. The meeting is called to order and the polls are open. If you have not voted your shares and wish to do so please vote at this time. Also attending this meeting, as you know, is Erik Lindseth, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. Erik is acting as secretary of this meeting, and I'm acting as chairman. Also attending this meeting virtually is Lindsay Pickler of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm for the company's most recently completed fiscal year. Members of our board of directors and executive team are also attending this meeting virtually.
The members of our board of directors in addition to myself are Jimena Almendares, Joel Alsfine, Donna Coallier, Jonathan Coslet, John Heinbockel, J. Kristofer Galashan, Paul Hackwell, David Landau, Stuart Lasher, Jennifer Pomerantz, and Andres Small. Our executive team, Erik Weaver, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Eric Voss, our Executive Vice President and Chief Administration Officer. Parham Javaheri, our Executive Vice President of Club Operations and Chief Property Development Officer, and RJ Singh, our Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer. In addition, I would like to introduce Tony Carideo, our Inspector of Election from The Carideo Group and Broadridge Financial Solutions, who is with us today to certify the voting. Before we answer any questions, we will conduct a formal portion of the meeting. Notice of this annual meeting of shareholders was first sent out on March 11th, 2026.
The shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of February 23rd, 2026 are entitled to vote or sign proxies for this meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 221,805,082 shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. On preliminary count, there are represented at this meeting, either in person or by proxy, holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, constituting a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at this meeting. Therefore, a quorum is present for the transaction of business at this meeting, and the meeting can proceed.
Please note that the polls and the time for any questions on the agenda items for this meeting will be closed shortly. We will now take up business of the meeting, namely one the election of five Class II directors, each for a three-year term, a non-binding advisory vote to approve our executive compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement for this annual meeting, and three, ratification of our selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the company for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026. Do we have any questions specific to these three agenda items? The polls are now closed, and final report of election will be prepared. Based on the preliminary report of the inspectors of election, Joel Alsfine, Jonathan Coslet, Kris Galashan, Stuart Lasher, and Jennifer Pomerantz each received the affirmative votes of the votes cast.
Therefore, each is elected as a director of the company. The non-binding advisory say on pay vote received an affirmative vote for a majority of the votes cast and therefore is considered to reflect advisory approval. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP received the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast and therefore is approved. The proposals have been approved and the non-binding advisory vote have been completed. There being no further business before the meeting, I declare this meeting adjourned. That concludes the business portion of the meeting.
Before we begin the general question and answer portion of this meeting, I would like to remind everyone that Mr. Akradi's remarks, and those of any other officer or director, may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of the company's financial performance. The company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statement.

Thank you, Erik. Now we will open it up for any questions that the shareholders may have concerning Life Time Group Holdings, Inc business affairs. Are there any questions for our management, our directors, or Deloitte & Touche, our independent accountants? Thank you all for coming.
