I will now turn the conference over to your host, Mr. Adam Michaels, Chief Executive Officer. You may begin.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our annual meeting of stockholders. It is now 12:00 P.M., and the meeting is called to order, and the polls are open. I'm Adam Michaels, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors, and I will serve as chair of the meeting. Joining me today is Anthony Gruber, our Chief Financial Officer. Anthony will serve as the secretary of this meeting, and Nora Marckwordt from Equity Stock Transfer, LLC, has been appointed to act as inspector for the meeting. We are also joined today by Lynn Blake, the Chair of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Lily Soares, a representative of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A., our company's independent registered public accounting firm, is also present.
The record date for the determination of the holders of our common stock, entitled to receive notice of and to vote at this meeting, was fixed by the board of directors to be May 6, 2023. An affidavit of mailing has been received, attesting that full sets of proxy materials are distributed to each holder of the company's common stock as of the close of business on the record date. The affidavit will be attached to the minutes of this meeting. Mr. Secretary, do we have the preliminary report from the Inspector of Elections?
Yes. According to the report, as of the close of business on the record date, there were 37,486,046 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and each share is entitled to one vote. The Inspector of Elections' preliminary report shows that holders of at least a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares are represented at this meeting, either in person or by proxy.
Thank you. With that, a quorum is present for the transaction of business, and the meeting can proceed. The polls for voting on all matters are now open. If you are a stockholder entitled to vote and have not yet voted, or you wish to change your vote, you can vote at www.mama.vote using your 12-digit voting control number. If you have already voted by proxy, it is not necessary to do it again. We will now take up the business of the meeting, which consists of four proposals. First, the election of eight directors named in the proxy statement, namely Alfred D'Agostino, Lynn Blake, Steve Burns, Meghan Henson, Dean Janeway, Adam Michaels, Shirley Romig, and Thomas Toto.
Second, the ratification of the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A., Certified Public Accountants, as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31st, 2025 . Third, an advisory vote for approval of executive compensation. Fourth, an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation. The polls are about to close, so if you have not yet voted, please do so now. Again, if you have already submitted your proxy, your shares will automatically be voted in accordance with your instructions, and you do not need to vote again. The polls are now closed. Will the secretary please report the results of the voting?
Based on a preliminary report of the Inspector of Election, each of the eight director nominees received the affirmative vote of plurality of the outstanding shares present at this meeting and entitled to vote. Accordingly, each has been elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025 or until a successor is duly elected. Second, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A., Certified Public Accountants, received the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present at the meeting and entitled to vote, and therefore, it has been approved. Third, the proposal to provide advisory approval of executive compensation received the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present at the meeting and entitled to vote, and therefore, it has been approved.
Fourth, the majority of votes cast on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation were cast in favor of every year, and therefore, every year is considered the frequency recommended by the stockholders.
Thank you, Mr. Secretary. A final report of election will be prepared, and we plan to report the results on a current report on Form 8-K. There being no further business before this meeting, I declare the meeting adjourned. Thank you for coming and for your support of Mama’s Creations, Inc.
