Good morning. I am Philip Astley-Sparke, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Replimune Group, Inc. Will the meeting please come to order? Let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Replimune Group, Inc. At this time, I would like to introduce you to Shawn Glidden, the SVP, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Corporate Secretary, who is present today and will act as secretary for the meeting.
I would also like to note that representatives of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to the company, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the company's independent registered public accountants, are also present virtually today at the meeting. Before proceeding to the business of this meeting, there are certain legal matters which we must dispose of in order to make certain that we are conducting a duly authorized meeting.
As soon as these are completed, I would like to introduce you to the other officers and Directors of the company, and also to describe to you the matters proposed for your consideration and action at this meeting. The company has designated Sharmila Amladi of Computershare Trust Company to serve as the inspector of elections. Ms. Amladi took her oath of inspector of elections earlier today. The oath shall be filed with the minutes of the meeting. Will the inspector of elections please take charge of any proxies that have been filed and provide her report regarding the number of shares of common stock of the company represented at the meeting, either virtually or by proxy?
Ladies and gentlemen, there are represented at the meeting, either virtually or by proxy, at least 63,759,937 shares of common stock out of the total of 84,026,071 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.
The report of the inspector of elections indicates that there are present at the meeting, virtually or represented by proxy, the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of common stock of the company outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. There is therefore a quorum present, and the meeting is competent to transact business.
On the virtual meeting platform, you have access to the notice of the annual meeting of stockholders dated July 28, 2026, concerning the matters to be considered and acted upon at the meeting, and a copy of the proxy statement and annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended March 31st, 2026. Additionally, I have an affidavit of mailing executed by an employee of Computershare Trust Company, N.A., proxy processing service provider for the company. The affidavit of mailing will be filed with the minutes of this meeting.
Thank you. Now that the technical organizational phase of the meeting has been completed, and before proceeding to the business to be transacted at this meeting, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the other officers and Directors of the company. Let me first introduce the following directors of the company. Sushil Patel, who is our Chief Executive Officer, Madhu Balachandran, and Joe Slattery. I would also like to introduce you the following officers of the company.
