Good day, and welcome to the Oshkosh Corporation 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I would now like to turn the conference over to Stephen Newlin, Director and Chairman of the Board. Please go ahead.
Good morning, and welcome to the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Oshkosh Corporation. I'm Steve Newlin, Director and Chairman of the Board, and it's my privilege to preside over our meeting today. We will begin with the official business of the meeting as outlined in our proxy materials. This meeting is now called to order. Joining me today virtually are the other directors of Oshkosh Corporation. I will now introduce each of them and thank them both personally and on behalf of all shareholders for their support and service as a director to Oshkosh Corporation. First of all, Keith Allman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Masco Corporation. Douglas Davis, Retired Senior Vice President of the Automated Driving Group for Intel Corporation. Tyrone Jordan, past President and Chief Operating Officer of Dura Automotive Systems. Kimberley Metcalf-Kupres, retired Chief Marketing Officer of Johnson Controls International plc.
Duncan Palmer, Retired Global Chief Financial Officer of Cushman & Wakefield. John Pfeifer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oshkosh Corporation. Sandra E. Rowland, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Xylem Incorporated. John S. Shiely, Retired Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Also in attendance today is Director Craig Omtvedt, Retired Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Fortune Brands. Mr. Omtvedt is retiring at the close of today's meeting, having reached the mandatory retirement age. He served this board and our shareholders since 2008, and we really thank him for his dedication and many contributions to the company and our shareholders. Craig, we'll miss you, and we wish you the best of health and happiness. Thank you for your support and service.
Lastly, I wanna take a moment to recognize and mourn Retired General Raymond Odierno, who served on our board from 2018 until his passing in October of this past year. Ray had a very distinguished career serving our nation, including his appointment as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army in 2011. He was a humble and servant leader who provided invaluable strategic counsel and insights to this board and our leadership team. We thank him for his service to our nation and to our company. Ray, you'll be missed. With me is Ignacio Cortina, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of the company. Also here virtually are Eric Kulju and Bruce Arensmeier of Deloitte & Touche, the company's independent public accountants. Ignacio, would you please introduce the formal portion of the meeting?
Thank you, Steve. We are holding this meeting for the purposes stated in the notice of the annual meeting. This 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is convened in accordance with the notice and proxy statement first distributed on January 5, 2022 to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2021. We have appointed Charlie Zaid as our independent inspector of elections for today's meeting, and he is attending virtually. Mr. Zaid has informed me that at least 92% of the stock of Oshkosh of record as of December 16, 2021 is represented at this meeting. This means that a quorum is present and the legal requirements to proceed with this meeting have been met. The polls are now open and will remain open until we officially close them later in the meeting.
Any shareholder who hasn't voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal. Shareholders who have already voted by proxy, including over the internet or by phone, do not need to vote again. The first item of business to come before this meeting is the election of directors for terms to expire at the 2023 annual meeting. The proxy materials identify the board of director nominees and describe their backgrounds, skills, and qualifications. There are no other nominations at this time. The second item of business to come before this meeting is the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
The third item of business to come before this meeting is the consideration of a resolution to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our executive officers named on page 44 of the proxy statement. This completes the items to be voted on at today's meeting. The polls for voting are now closed. I will next proceed with the vote and provide a report on the results. Steve and I received proxies authorizing us to vote shares on the items of business for today's meeting, and we have voted these shares accordingly. Based on a preliminary tabulation from the inspector of elections, I can report as follows as to the items of business at today's meeting.
Shareholders have elected all nine director nominees, shareholders have ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent auditors for fiscal 2022, and shareholders have approved on an advisory basis our named executive officer compensation. The final tally of votes certified by the inspector of elections will be included with the minutes of this meeting and made publicly available with the SEC in the next few days.
Thank you for that report, Ignacio. As there is no further business to come before this meeting, I declare the meeting adjourned. I'd like to thank all our shareholders for your continued confidence and support.
The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
