Hello, and welcome to the Polaris Inc. annual meeting of shareholders. I'd now like to turn the conference over to Richard Edwards. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Before we get started, there are a couple of housekeeping items I would like to cover related to today's virtual shareholder meeting. If you have not yet voted and wish to vote, or if you wish to revoke or change a previously submitted proxy, you may do so by clicking the Vote Here button on your screen. You will need the control number provided on your proxy card or notice of internet availability to vote your shares. In addition, logging in with your control number allows you to submit questions. We have reserved time after the formal meeting to address any questions. If you would like to submit a question, please type it into the box at the bottom of your screen. For any general business questions about the company, please contact our investor relations department at polaris.investorrelations@polaris.com.
I will now turn the meeting over to Scott Wine, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Thank you, Richard. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Polaris' 2019 annual shareholder meeting. On behalf of our directors, officers, and employees, thank you for joining us today. Present at today's meetings are my fellow directors, John Wiehoff, our Lead Director, George Bilicic, Annette Clayton, Kevin Farr, Gary Hendrickson, Gwynne Shotwell, Bernd Kessler, Larry Kingsley, and Gwynne Shotwell. A representative from Ernst & Young, our independent auditors, is present and available for questions. I will now turn the meeting over to our Corporate Secretary, Lucy Clark Dougherty, to proceed with the formal portion of the meeting.
Thank you, Scott. Good morning. Let me begin with a few procedural matters. The agenda and rules of conduct that we will follow for this virtual annual meeting have been made available on your screen. I encourage any shareholder who has not voted or wishes to revoke or change a previously submitted proxy to do so now. As mentioned earlier, please use the Vote Here button on your screen if you wish to vote. The notice of the annual meeting was mailed beginning on March 11, 2019, to shareholders of record on March 1, 2019. As a result, the meeting is being held pursuant to proper notice. A quorum is present online and by proxy. We will proceed with the business of the meeting. Proxy votes will be tabulated, and the preliminary announcements of results will be made at the end of the formal portion of the meeting.
Michael Speetzen and Kenneth Pucel are the designated proxies and will vote the shares for which proxies are received in accordance with the authority granted to each of them. Dan Castillo of Broadridge Financial Solutions and Michael Vania, vice president and corporate controller for Polaris, are serving as inspectors of election. We have four proposals on the meeting agenda today. Details for these proposals were provided in your proxy materials. The first item under consideration is the election of four Class I directors for a three-year term ending at the annual meeting in 2022. The Class I nominees are Bernd F. Kessler, Lawrence Kingsley, Gwynne Shotwell, and Scott Wine. The second item for consideration is the approval of the amended and restated 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The third item for consideration is the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019.
The fourth item for consideration is the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the company's named executive officers. I now declare the polls closed and ask the election inspectors to prepare a preliminary report of the vote. Mr. Castillo has provided me with preliminary vote results. The preliminary vote results show that each Class I director nominee received a majority of votes cast and has been elected to the board, that the amended and restated 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan has been approved by a majority of the votes cast, that the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019 has been approved by a majority of the votes cast. Finally, that the company's executive compensation has been approved on an advisory basis by a majority of the votes cast.
The formal portion of this meeting is now concluded. The formal meeting is adjourned. We have received no questions. This concludes the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. Thank you.
