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 proxy materials was sent to stockholders of record as of April 25, 2018. Copies of the notice and related affidavit will be filed with the meeting minutes. Next, I would like to introduce the Inspector of Elections for today's meeting, Leah Grant, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. The Inspector of Elections has executed an oath of office, which will be filed with the meeting minutes. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 25, 2018 are entitled to vote at today's meeting.
The Inspector of Elections has informed us that a majority of the aggregate voting power 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 three proposals described in the proxy statement dated May 8, 2018. In Proposal One, the board of directors is proposing the election of three directors, Jeffrey Rothschild, Anita Sands, and Michelangelo Volpi, to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2021. In Proposal Two, the board of directors is proposing the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for this fiscal year. In Proposal Three, the board of directors is proposing, on an advisory basis, an approval of our 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 10:03 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now open for voting on the items of business. You may vote online at any time prior to the closing of the polls. If you 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, did not send in a proxy, and wish to cast your vote now, or have not already cast your vote by clicking on the voting button on the web portal, you may cast your vote now, provided you entered the meeting using the control number you received previously.
We will now pause momentarily. I would ask that you complete your electronic ballot at this time so your votes will be counted. It is 10:04 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now closed for voting on the items of business. The Inspector of Elections has provided me with a preliminary report summarizing the voting on the proposals. I am pleased to report that each of the proposals have also passed. We expect to publicly report the final voting results on a Form 8-K with the SEC. We will ask the Inspector of Elections to execute a report after final tabulation of the votes that will be filed with the meeting minutes. This concludes the official business for this 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. I will now turn the time back over to Charlie.
