The 2026 annual meeting of shareholders is hereby called to order. There are two proposals of business on today's agenda. Proposal one is the election of Directors, and proposal two is the ratification of the appointment of the company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Thank you, Jonathan. Let me first make some procedural points. First, you are able to vote during this meeting at any time once the polls have been opened through presentation of the proposals until we close the polls. However, if you have already voted in advance by using an online ballot or a physical proxy card, a vote at this meeting will supersede your earlier vote. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again. Second, in the event of any technical difficulties before the formal adjournment of this meeting, we may temporarily adjourn and reconvene in accordance with our bylaws. After adjournment, shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions. The company has delivered an affidavit of distribution of Broadridge Financial Solutions, establishing that notice of this meeting was duly given.
A copy of the notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and notice of internet availability of the proxy materials will be incorporated into the minutes of this meeting. All shareholders of record at the close of business on March 27th, 2026, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. I will now discuss the procedures for transacting the business of this meeting. Shareholders of record of our shares of common stock have received the notice of annual meeting of shareholders and are entitled to vote at this meeting. We have present today, either virtually or by proxy, holders of at least 50% of the shares of common stock of Blue Owl Capital Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date. Since the majority of the company's shares of common stock is represented here today, a quorum is present.
Thank you, Neena. Because a quorum has been established and is represented at this meeting, I declare this meeting to be duly convened for the purpose of transacting such business as may properly come before it. The Board of Directors has appointed Chris Woods, a representative of American Election Services, as the independent Inspector of Election. Mr. Woods has previously taken an oath as Inspector of Election and will determine the number of shares to be voted at today's meeting. Mr. Woods has tabulated the proxies that were received prior to the convening of this meeting and will submit a report on the number of shares voted for each item presented to shareholders. The next order of business is to vote on the two proposals outlined in the proxy statement and on the agenda.
The polls are now declared open at 9:05 A.M. Eastern Time today, June 25th, 2026. After the items to be acted upon at this meeting are presented and the votes on those items are reported, the preliminary results of the voting will be reported. The Board recommends a vote for each of the proposals. On behalf of the Board, I present the two proposals for consideration for the reasons contained in the proxy statement. We will now pause to allow shareholders to vote their shares. If you previously voted by proxy, you do not need to vote today unless you wish to change your vote. I now declare the polls closed at 9:06 A.M. Eastern Time today, June 25th, 2026. The Inspector of Election will now tabulate the preliminary results.
Thank you, Jonathan. The Inspector of Election has provided a preliminary report showing that, one, the nominees for election to the board of directors have been duly elected for three-year terms expiring at the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders once their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. Two, the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent auditors for the 2026 fiscal year has been duly ratified. The Inspector of Election will furnish a written report of the final vote count with respect to the matters voted on today, which will be included in the minutes of this meeting. The company plans to file a Form 8-K within four business days of this Annual Meeting to disclose the final voting results.
