Thank you for standing by, welcome to the Planet Labs PBC annual meeting. I'll now turn the conference over to Will Marshall.
Good morning, welcome to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Planet Labs PBC. My name is Will Marshall, and I'm the chairperson, board, and Chief Executive Officer of Planet Labs. We also have a number of company officers here with us, including Thomas Murphy, our general counsel and corporate secretary. Additionally, representatives from KPMG LLP, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, who are also present today. We are conducting this meeting virtually as permitted by the State of Delaware, our state of incorporation.
The meeting will now officially come to order. The polls were opened today, July 9th, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. Pacific time for voting on all matters before the meeting. If you have not already voted and wish to vote, the polls will remain open until we finish presenting the proposals and close the polls.
You don't need to vote during the meeting if you have already voted and do not wish to change your vote. On the virtual meeting webpage, you will find the agenda and rules of conduct of the 2026 annual meeting.

At this time, I'd like to introduce Francis Byrd, a representative of Broadridge Financial Services, who the Board of Directors has appointed to act as Inspector of Election at today's meeting. The Inspector of Election has signed the customary oath of office to execute her duties with strict impartiality. We will file this oath with the recordings of the meeting. I've been informed that a quorum is present.
I hereby declare this meeting to be duly convened for the transaction of business. We will now proceed with the formal business of the meeting. There are three proposals to be voted on by the stockholders at this meeting. The company recommends that the stockholders vote for each of the director nominees named in the first proposal, for the second proposal, and for the third proposal.
The first item of business is the re-election of three directors to the company's Board of Directors. The nominees are listed in the agenda and the proxy statement sent or made available to you earlier. Candidates for director who have been nominated for re-election as Class II directors by the company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors are Vijaya Gadde, General John W. Raymond, and Scott Reese Jr.
The Class II directors elected today, will hold office until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, and their successors are duly elected and qualified. The second item of business is the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending January 31st, 2027. Representatives from KPMG LLP, our independent registered accounting firm, are present today.
The third item of business is the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers. This is often referred to as say on pay vote. This is the final proposal for today's meeting. If you have not yet voted and wish to vote, please do so now by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions. You do not need to vote electronically if you've already sent in your signed proxy or if you have voted by telephone or internet unless you wish to change your vote. We'll pause for approximately 30 seconds before closing the voting polls.
I declare the polls now closed and ask that the Inspector of Election collect and tabulate the votes. Will the Secretary please report the results of the voting?
I've received the preliminary report of the Inspector of Election. The Inspector of Election has informed me that there were sufficient votes in favor of the election of Vijaya Gadde, General John W. Raymond, and Scott Reese Jr. as Class II directors. The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31st, 2027. The approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers. The final tally of votes will be published within four days in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
