Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Pure Storage's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This meeting is now being called to order. I'm Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO of Pure Storage. I am joined by John Colgrove, the Founder and CTO of Pure Storage, as well as Joseph FitzGerald, our Vice President and General Counsel. This meeting is being held by live webcast, which enables us broad stockholder access and participation. All of our stockholders are able to participate and submit questions online. The Q&A portal is open. We'll address questions after the end of the meeting. We welcome members of our board of directors and executive team who are participating in this meeting, including Mark Garrett and Anita Sands.
We'd also like to welcome Ed Hormozian and Dan Ray, who are representing our public accountants, Deloitte & Touche. They will be available to respond to questions during Q&A. Thank you again for joining us. Let me now turn the meeting over to Joe, who will conduct the official business.
Thank you, Charlie. Notice of this meeting has been given in accordance with the company's bylaws and applicable law. The company's agents have certified that notice of this meeting and availability of the proxy materials was sent to stockholders of record as of April 25, 2019. Copies of the notice and related affidavit will be kept with the meeting minutes. Next, I would like to introduce the Inspector of Elections for today's meeting, Leia Grant, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions. The Inspector of Elections has executed an oath of office which will be kept with the meeting minutes. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 25, 2019, are entitled to vote at today's meeting. The Inspector of Elections has informed us that a majority of the shares entitled to vote are represented at today's meeting, either in person or by proxy.
Therefore, a quorum is present. This meeting is duly constituted. Today, stockholders will vote on the four proposals described in the proxy statement dated May 8, 2019. In Proposal 1, the board of directors is proposing the election of three directors, Charles Giancarlo, Scott Dietzen , and John Colgrove, to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2022. In Proposal 2, the board of directors is proposing the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for this fiscal year. In Proposal 3, the board of directors is proposing an amendment to the company's 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the share reserve by five million shares. In Proposal 4, the board of directors is proposing an advisory basis and approval of a named executive officer compensation. The board of directors recommends that stockholders vote for each of the proposals.
A detailed description of each proposal was provided in the proxy statement. We will now proceed with the voting. It is 10:04 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now open for voting on the items of business. You may vote online prior to the closing of the polls. If you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed and no further action is needed. If you wish to change your vote and wish to recast your vote, or if you have not already cast your vote, you may cast your vote now by clicking on the voting button in the web portal, provided you enter the meeting using the control number you previously received. We will now pause briefly to allow for any final voting.
You need to have completed your electronic ballot by now so we can ensure that your votes will be counted. It is 10:05 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now closed. The Inspector of Elections has provided me with a preliminary report summarizing the voting on the proposals. I am pleased to report that the proposals have passed. We expect to publicly report the final voting results on a Form 8-K filing with the SEC. We will ask the Inspector of Elections to execute a report after final tabulation of the votes that will be kept with the meeting minutes. This concludes the official business for this 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. I will now turn the time back over to Charlie.
Thank you, Joe, and thank you, everyone. The official business of this annual meeting is now concluded. We will now entertain questions. If you desire to ask a question, please use the designated field on the web portal to submit your question. Joe, please read us any questions.
No questions have been received. The Q&A session is concluded. I'll hand the time back to Charlie for any final remarks.
Well, thank you all for your participation today and for your continued support of Pure Storage. We hope that you will join us for next year's annual meeting, and we thank you for your time. Goodbye.
