Good morning, welcome to the 2026 NeoGenomics Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will begin shortly.
Good morning, and welcome to the 2026 Annual Stockholders' Meeting of NeoGenomics, Inc. I am Lynn Tetrault, Chair of the Board of Directors of NeoGenomics. It is my pleasure to welcome you here today for this meeting. We're pleased to be hosting this meeting virtually, which allows us to be more inclusive and reach a greater number of stockholders. As is customary, we will conduct the business portion of our meeting first and answer questions at the end of the meeting. Though we may not be able to answer every question, we will do our best to provide a response to as many as possible. It is now 10:00 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time on May 21st, 2026, and this meeting is officially called to order.
We would like to welcome members of our board of directors, including Mr. Tony Zook, Dr. Marjorie Green, Mr. Michael Kelly, Mr. David Perez, and Ms. Felicia Williams. We would also like to introduce you to the senior members of the management team in attendance today. Mr. Abhishek Jain, our Chief Financial Officer, and Ali Olivo, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Now it is my pleasure to turn it over to Ali Olivo, who will act as Secretary of the meeting. I will turn to her with any procedural issues that may arise.
Thank you, Lynn. We are also joined here today by Eli Rinn, Matt Wolfson, and Emily Kong, representatives of our independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP. This year, the company has appointed American Election Services, LLC to serve as Inspector of Elections. Mr. Jason Graham from American Election Services, LLC is also with us today and has taken the oath of Inspector of Election. His role is to certify the results of all voting accomplished before the meeting, as well as recording and certifying all votes registered at this meeting. After the formal meeting has been adjourned, we will provide time for general questions. Only validated stockholders may ask questions in the designated field on the web portal. Out of consideration for others, please limit yourself to one question. A webcast playback will be available 24 hours after the completion of the meeting.
However, no one attending via the webcast or telephone is permitted to use any recording device. I will now turn it over to Lynn.
Thanks, Ali. This annual meeting has been duly called in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the company and the relevant laws of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The board of directors fixed March 23rd, 2026, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at this meeting. An affidavit has been delivered attesting to the fact that either a notice of internet availability of the notice of the meeting, the proxy statement, and the 2025 annual report to stockholders, or the documents themselves, were mailed on or about April 6th, 2026, to all stockholders as of the record date and will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. The stockholder list shows that as of the record date, there were 130,143,833 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting.
We are informed by the Inspector of Elections that there are represented in person or by proxy shares of common stock representing 116,630,120 votes, or approximately 89.61% of the voting power on the record date. Since this represents more than a majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on the record date, a quorum is present for purposes of transacting business. I will now turn it over to Ali for a summary of the proposals.
Thank you, Lynn. I will now present the matters to be voted upon. The first proposal is to elect nine Board members for a one-year term ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified. The nominees for election to the Board are Lynn A. Tetrault, Marjorie Green, Neil Gunn, Steve Kanovsky, Michael Kelly, Jack Kenny, David Perez, Felicia Williams, and Tony Zook, all of whom currently serve on the Board and all of whom have advised the company of their willingness to serve as a member of the Board if elected. We will now turn to the second proposal that is set out in the notice of this meeting. The proposal is to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation paid to our named executive officers described in the proxy statement.
Next is the third proposal that is set out in the notice of this meeting. The proposal is to approve the second amendment of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan described in the proxy statement. Finally, we will turn to the fourth proposal that is set out in the notice of this meeting. The proposal is to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2026.
The polls are open. Any stockholder who hasn't 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 via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote do not need to take further action. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I now declare the polls for the 2026 Annual Stockholder Meeting closed.
The proposals acted upon by the stockholders and the final voting results of such proposals will be set forth in a Form 8-K to be filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Thank you, Ali. There being no further business to come before the meeting, this annual meeting of the stockholders of NeoGenomics, Inc. is hereby adjourned. Thank you for attending. I will turn it over to Tony for our question and answer session.
Thanks, Lynn. I'd like to open it up to the stockholder questions and comments. Please note we'll attempt to answer as many questions as time allows, only questions that are germane to the meeting will be addressed. Hearing no questions, let me thank you for your questions, that would conclude the Q&A session. That concludes our meeting. We thank you for your attendance today and the continued support. Thank you, have a great day.
This concludes today's meeting. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect and have a wonderful rest of your day.
