Welcome to the Mirion Technologies 2026 annual stockholders meeting. At this time, I'd like to turn the meeting over to the company. Please go ahead.
Thank you. Good morning to all our stockholders. I'm Tom Logan, Chairman of Mirion's Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the company, and I'll be chairing the meeting. Our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Emmanuelle Lee, will act as secretary for the meeting. This meeting will be held in accordance with the company's bylaws and Delaware law. The meeting is now called to order. I'm joined today by Emmanuelle Lee, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, and Brian Schopfer, Chief Financial Officer. We are pleased to be conducting our live annual meeting virtually through this audio webcast. We're using a virtual format because it facilitates participation by all our stockholders, regardless of their location, at little to no cost. Through our annual meeting web portal, you may submit questions and vote your shares online before the polls close.
In addition, you'll find copies of the agenda and rules of conduct for today's meeting on the web portal. To ensure that the meeting proceeds in an orderly fashion, we ask that you please observe these rules. We will conduct a formal business portion of the meeting and consider the proposals described in our Proxy Statement, tabulate the voting, and announce the preliminary voting results. We will then conclude the formal business portion of the meeting. After a brief pause, we will then open the Q&A session. While we welcome questions from all our stockholders, please note that we've allocated a total of 30 minutes, including Q&A, for this meeting. We will respond to as many questions as possible during the allotted time. To ensure that as many stockholders as possible are able to ask questions, each stockholder will be permitted no more than one question or comment.
In addition, to ensure that the purpose of the meeting is observed, questions or comments that are irrelevant or inappropriate pursuant to the meeting's rules of conduct will not be addressed. If there are any questions that cannot be addressed, including due to time constraints, we will post answers to such questions on our investor relations website as soon as practicable after the meeting. Stockholders were able to submit questions as early as 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting when the virtual meeting opened. You may also submit questions live during the meeting at any time before the end of the Q&A session. All questions must be submitted in writing through your annual meeting web portal. To submit a written question, type and submit your question in the designated field on the annual meeting web portal. We welcome your questions and comments.
Please also note that this meeting is being recorded and will be available on our annual meeting web portal within 24 hours after the end of the meeting. Before we get to the proposals, I would like to introduce the other board members who are also in attendance. Kenneth C. Bockhorst, our Lead Independent Director, Robert A. Cascella, Steven W. Etzel, Lawrence D. Kingsley, John W. Kuo, Jody A. Markopoulos, Sheila Rege. I will now turn the meeting over to our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Emmanuelle Lee, for the formal proceedings.
Thank you, Tom. Good morning, Mirion stockholders. Before we proceed, we need to confirm that we have a quorum. I have been advised that the company properly mailed its meeting notice and proxy statement to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 16 , 2026, and we have received an affidavit to that effect from our proxy distribution agent. The list of our registered stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting is available for inspection by any stockholder during the meeting and may be accessed on the annual meeting web portal. In addition, we are joined by our Inspector of Election, Victor Latessa of CT Hagberg & Associates, who has advised me that at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock entitled to vote are represented by proxy at this meeting.
I hereby declare that a quorum exists. At this time, I declare the polls to be open. If you have already voted or have provided a proxy, you do not need to do anything further. If, however, you want to change your vote or you haven't yet voted or provided a proxy, you may do so by voting your shares online by clicking on the Voting button on the annual meeting web portal at any time during the meeting until the polls are closed. As indicated in the annual meeting notice and proxy statement, we are here today to consider three items of business. The first item of business is the election of eight directors, each for a term of one year, expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.
The nominees for election are Thomas Logan, Kenneth Bockhorst, Robert Cascella, Steven Etzel, Lawrence Kingsley, John Kuo, Jody Markopoulos, Sheila Rege. Their biographies and information about their qualifications are included in the proxy statement. The board unanimously recommends a vote for the nominees. The second item of business is the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Information about this proposal is included in the proxy statement. The board unanimously recommends a vote for this proposal. The third and final item of business is the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officers. Information about this proposal is included in the proxy statement. The board unanimously recommends a vote for this proposal.
If you have previously voted and do not wish to change your vote or provide the proxy, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed and no further action is needed. If you haven't yet voted or you wish to change your vote, you may do so by clicking on the voting button on the annual meeting web portal at any time during the meeting until the polls are closed. The polls will be closed following the presentation of the proposal. It is now 9:07 A.M. Central Time on May 13th, 2026, and the polls for each matter are now closed. The minutes of the meeting will reflect the time at which the polls were closed. We will now announce the preliminary results of the vote on the three proposals.
On the first proposal regarding the election of the directors, each of Mr. Logan, Bockhorst, Cascella, Etzel, Kingsley, and Kuo, and Mrs. Markopoulos and Rege have been elected as a director. The second proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent auditors has been approved. The third proposal regarding a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officer has been approved. The final vote tallies, including ballots cast today, will be disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the meeting. This concludes the formal business portion of the meeting.
Before turning the meeting over to Tom to conduct the Q&A session, I advise you that it is possible some of our responses to your questions may include forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. You are cautioned that our actual results may differ materially from those predicted in any forward-looking statement. In addition, the assumptions, risks, and uncertainties include the risks that are described in our reports filed with the SEC, including our 2025 annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the 1st quarter of 2026. I will now turn the meeting back over to Tom for the Q&A session.
Thank you, Emma. We will now proceed with the Q&A session. Please note that we've allocated the remainder of the 30 minutes for the meeting for this live Q&A session. Brian Schopfer and I will manage this part of the meeting. There are no questions. I will now turn the meeting back to Tom. With that, our Q&A session has ended. On behalf of the board and management, I thank you for participating in Mirion's 2026 annual stockholders meeting and for your support for Mirion. The meeting is now adjourned.
This concludes today's annual meeting. You may now disconnect.
